Deadman Gulch is located off of Sheridan Lake Road a few miles outside of Rapid City.

We left my house around 11 at night, drove a few mile out into the hills, bundled up against the cold night time air. You have to park on Sheridan Lake Road and walk in as the area is closed to motor vehicles. It is the location of the big horn sheep reintroduction area. Even though we did not come across the big horns we certainly had fun and found ourselves in awe of the beauty that is the Black Hills by the light of the 'Moon of the Red Grass Appearing'. So named by Black Elk as recorded in the book Black Elk Speaks by John Neihardt.
Vega - jewel set in body of Lyre, the harp.
Vega, third brightest star in the northern sky. Only 25.3 light years from us making it one of our closest neighbors.
Entropy -

Were the north wind from the border of heaven does come.
In the moon when Red Grass Appears may I find that which I seek, that being the quest of love, peace, and fulfillment of life dreams.
Jupiter rises with Scorpio.
Jupiter ruler of religion, philosophy and social issues of the day. Jupiter also rules optimism in living, prosperity, and growth, both mentally and physically.
Scorpio so calm and steady... dangerously so? The surface cool... but inside...
"The greatest mania of all is passion: and I am a natural slave to passion: the balance between my brain and my soul and my body is as wild and delicate as the skin of a Ming vase." - HST from The Curse of Lono
