Supper in the Evening Light

 

 



Sunset in Spearfish

We were only a little weary when we checked into the Holiday Inn-Spearfish Convention Center at the end of the afternoon. I'd found the hotel in a sold-out hotel database as an "Expedia Mystery Hotel", for $100. After selecting and pre-paying the mystery hotel, I figured that a Holiday Inn would be acceptable, at the very least.

Turns out that even an AARP or AAA discount rate would be $149, so we did get a deal. The hotel is large and sprawling, and we were surprised to find a young guy spot cleaning the carpet in our room when we opened our door. The room is very comfortable, and a great place to spend the night, though the pool area seemed too lonely and isolated for a late evening swim. For once, I skipped this usual hotel pleasure.



Menu Review

We decided to stay onsite for dinner and were pleased with our light supper on the pleasant patio of  Lucky's 13 Pub. My $5 house Cabernet was excellent, while Bob was mostly pleased with the price, not quality of his $3.50 house scotch. I had a "small" house salad and turkey wild rice soup -- too much to eat but really very good. Bob's burger looked OK, and his fruit salad accompaniment was fresh and tasty.

Dusk enveloped us as we finished our beverages after dinner. We walked around the property, enjoying the fresh evening and the moody South Dakota Sky.
