3-11 Oct 2012: This video is a mini-documentary consisting of HD videos and still photos of Hill City, SD along with just a few of the major attractions to be found there. These include Hill City itself, the Alpine Inn...home of great Southern German cooking, the RV campsite two miles away from Hill City where we spent 8 days (Crooked Creek Resort and RV Park) including a couple complete with a snow storm...while visiting the area, the South Dakota State Railroad Museum (including model train layouts), the 1880 Train, and the Black Hills Institute Museum...who doesn't love dinosaurs and exotic minerals? There are several clips in this presentation found in others we've uploaded (the 1880 Train ride has been reduced to around 9 minutes in length with new photos added), with more emphasis placed on the two museums, esp. the Black Hills Institute Museum.
We have posted a longer version of our 1880 Train ride for the avid train lover. This video is about 48 minutes duration, largely documenting the trip one way between Hill City and Keystone, SD. Included is ample information along the way provided by live narration and recorded audio regarding the history of the area and highlights of the surrounding area as we travel through 20 crossings complete with warning whistles. Here's the link to this video:

Rapid City, South Dakota - Dinosaur Park (2019)
Dinosaur Park is a tourist attraction in Rapid City, South Dakota, United States. Dedicated on May 22, 1936, it contains seven dinosaur sculptures on a hill overlooking the city, created to capitalize on the tourists coming to the Black Hills to see Mount Rushmore. Constructed by the city of Rapid City and the Works Progress Administration,[1] WPA Project #960's dinosaurs were designed by Emmet Sullivan. Sullivan also designed the Apatosaurus (formerly thought of as a synonym of Brontosaurus) at Wall Drug nearby in Wall, South Dakota, the Christ of the Ozarks statue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and the dinosaurs at the now closed Dinosaur World in Beaver, Arkansas.
The park is located at 940 Skyline Drive and is maintained by the city of Rapid City. Admission is free, however steep flagstone stairs may limit handicapped accessibility. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1990.
Rapid City (Lakota: Mni Lúzahaŋ Otȟúŋwahe; Swift Water City) is the second most populous city in South Dakota and the county seat of Pennington County.[8] Named after Rapid Creek, on which the city is established, it is set against the eastern slope of the Black Hills mountain range. The population was 67,956 as of the 2010 Census.
Known as the Gateway to the Black Hills due to its location and the City of Presidents because of the life-size bronze president statues located downtown. Rapid City is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the western and eastern parts of the city. Ellsworth Air Force Base is located on the outskirts of the city. Camp Rapid, a part of the South Dakota Army National Guard, is located in the western part of the city. Rapid City is home to popular attractions like Art Alley, Dinosaur Park, the City of Presidents walking tour, Chapel in the Hills, Storybook Island, Main Street Square and more. The historic Old West town of Deadwood is nearby. In the neighboring Black Hills are the popular tourist attractions of Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, the museum at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, and to the east of the city is Badlands National Park.

The Journey Museum and Gardens - Video Learning - WizScience.com
The Journey Museum and Gardens is a museum in Rapid City, South Dakota, USA with 7 acre of gardens. It is set up as a journey through the history of the Black Hills, starting with the Native American creation stories, moving into the 2.5 billion years of history in the rock record with the geology exhibit, paleontology, archaeology, Native American inhabitants, and concluding with the pioneers that traveled west.
The Geology Gallery contains a wall that shows a 2.5 billion year rock record of the Black Hills area. The Museum of Geology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology provides artifacts and information for patrons to better understand the timeline. Along with the geology section is the paleontology section with fossils, much of which is on loan from the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in Hill City, South Dakota. A model of an on-site dig with a tent provides patrons with a sense of field work, sometimes with a retired paleontologist working in it who can answer questions. A model of a T-Rex and a Triceratops accompanied by a roaring sound track are also included in the exhibit.
After the Geology and Paleontology exhibits is the Archaeology Gallery. This gallery is split into five sections, according to time period. It is divided into five sections listed in the chart below. The Archaeology Gallery contains artifacts and information from The South Dakota Archaeological Research Center.
The Sioux Indian Museum, the next gallery after Archaeology, contains 5,500 pieces regulated by the United States Department of the Interior's Indian Arts and Crafts Board. Most of the collection is from the collection of a Native American arts collector who owned a trading post on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. This part of the collection was collected from the 1890s to the 1930s. The Sioux Indian Museum contains beaded items, ceremonial items, traditional Native American clothing, an exhibit of items made from animals, kids items , instruments, Native American saddles, and tipis. There is also a holographic Native American elder who tells three stories.

Rapid City, South Dakota - Chapel in the Hills (2019)
The Chapel in the Hills was dedicated on July 6, 1969, as the home for the radio ministry of Lutheran Vespers. Lutheran Vespers hosts such as, Richard A. Jensen were broadcast nationwide from this location in the Black Hills. The church is a special ministry of the South Dakota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The Chapel in the Hills is an exact replica of the Borgund stave church in Norway. The Borgund stavkirke was built around the year 1150 and is considered the most completely preserved stave church still standing in Norway.
The Norwegian Department of Antiquities provided a set of blueprints of the Borgund church to be used in the construction of the Chapel in the Hills. The woodcarvings resulted from the combined effort by Norwegian woodcarver Erik Fridstrøm and Rapid City resident, Helge Christiansen.
The site includes an authentic log cabin museum that was built in 1876 by Edward Nielsen, a Norwegian immigrant gold prospector from Hole, Ringerike, Norway. There is also a stabbur, a grass-roofed house, that serves as the visitor center and gift shop.

Manipur in 1934
Part of India on Film: 1899 – 1947
This collection of newly digitised films is part of the BFI's contribution to the UK-India Year of Culture 2017, in partnership with the British Council. View more films on BFI Player (UK only)
Excerpt from Imphal Bazaar (1934)
Richly detailed home movie shot in Manipur by G.P. Stewart, member of the Indian Civil Service.
This film is from the collection of G.P. (Gerry) Stewart, a member of the Indian Civil Service based in Manipur in the northeast of India, near the border with Burma (now Myanmar). Stewart appears dressed in safari suit and solar topi, seated on the ground talking to a group of local men. One of the men who appears in a number of shots is Tengkukai, a Kuki Lambu (official translator). Elizabeth Stewart, his wife, can also be seen. Much of the film features scenes in villages near the Burmese border, with distinct pagoda-style architecture and Buddhist shrines.
At the Women's Bazaar, an evening market in Imphal, a group of European women including the filmmaker's family and friends (Mrs. W.L. Scott, Mrs. Chumleigh, Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Imrie) negotiate the price of cloth. At the gymkhana at Imphal Mr C. Gimson (Stewart’s predecessor as Political Agent) is seen with a bicycle. The Maharaja of Manipur is greeted by Rai Bahadur Dr Ganesh Chandra Das, Honorary Assistant Civil Surgeon in Imphal while in the background a group of men perform a trick with fire. Manipuri polo players are inspected by the Maharaja and the Governor of Assam before the game starts. The Senapati, a high ranking local dignitary is carried in a litter. There’s a traditional spear-carrying Naga dance. Finally, a group of Angami Nagas people are seen pounding rice to make rice beer. By the night of Indian Independence Stewart had become the British Political Agent and performed the ceremony of the transfer of power at the Residency (now Raj Bhavan). At the stroke of midnight, Stewart stood up and announced to Maharaja Bodhchandra Singh of Manipur, Your highness, from this moment, Britain has ceased to have any authority in India. Goodbye. They shook hands, sat down and Stewart immediately stood up again to announce, “Good morning, your highness. I am the first Dominion Agent of India.

Flash Flooding in Hill City, SD

Logan Butte: Paleontology Bonanza
Paleontological resources are any fossilized remains, traces, or imprints of organisms, preserved in or on the earth's crust, that are of paleontological interest and that provide information about the history of life on earth.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regards paleontological or fossil resources as a fragile, nonrenewable scientific record. The history of life on earth is an important component of America's natural heritage. If these resources are damaged, destroyed or improperly collected, their scientific and educational value may be greatly reduced or lost forever.
Many kinds of fossils can be found on the BLM-managed public lands in Oregon and Washington, some world-class in scientific importance. Fossils are the remains and traces of once-living organisms, preserved in rocks of the Earth's crust. BLM managed lands in Oregon have fossil resources ranging from near-shore Oligocene marine species along the margins of the Willamette Valley to the well-preserved, remarkably complete fossil record of plants and animals within the heavily eroded volcanic deposits of the scenic John Day River basin.
Fossil deposits in eastern Oregon, in particular, represent a time when primitive mammals began to change and adapt to new environments and show a slow transition into faunas that we recognize today. Researchers from institutions such as the University of Oregon, the University of California-Berkeley, University of Nebraska, University of Florida, and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology conduct studies on public lands to study ecological and evolutionary changes of the past 50 million years.
Two areas on public lands have been designated Areas of Critical Environmental Concern to protect paleontological resources: Logan Butte and Fossil Lake.
