The Winter Inn in Warren is closed making Warren more of a ghosttown.

I recommend The Pollard Hotel in Red Lodge, MT
Really great service, gourmet dining in the restaurant.
*** I experienced noises in the haunted room that I could not explain
There is a misprint in the book, page 150/151, should be room 310.
The book is in the lobby.

I recommend the Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo, SD as a good visit. It's 42 buildings crammed full of historical items spread out over several acres. www.pioneerautoshow.com

Idaho City Hotel is currently closed due to the owner's health - but they hope to reopen.

The Westlakes Ghost Town and Rock Shop, Oakaton, South Dakota
Today, the Westlakes have passed on, their holdings have been sold, the signs are gone and the "ghost town façade” is no longer open for visitors. The "general store” still stands, though with very little variety, fewer rocks, and not nearly as much ambiance as it did in the past.

I recommend seeing the Wyoming Prison Museum, 500 W. Walnut in Rawlins, Wyoming http://wyshs.org/mus-oldpen.htm“Known as ‘The Old Pen’, this museum features numerous historical displays and information including confiscated inmate weapons, tales of prison escapes, and an exhibit on the movie "Prison" that was filmed here. Guided tours are available daily from April through October.” The site is alleged to be haunted and the museum even gives tours on Halloween.

Have noticed a number of deaths of mountain climbers, bikers and kayakers.
One thing that they had in common was that the person had gone SOLO!
I often go solo but this is a SAFETY HAZARD!
It is best and the number one safety rule is to NOT GO SOLO.
In this case, I serve as a bad example.

I recommend the Jackson Hole Playhouse - http://www.jhplayhouse.com/
It's a fun family time. I watched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers there. The cast was full of energy and thoroughly entertaining.
It's a western dining atmosphere with good food.

I advise, if you go to Mt. Rushmore and feel hungry, there are good restaurants down the hill in Keystone. The two best are The Powder House http://www.powderhouselodge.com/ and The Ruby http://www.historicrubyhouse.com/index.html
Both serve great food with a big smile. Both have a wine list and full service bars.
The Ruby has live entertainment in the adjacent Red Garter Saloon and gunfight re-enactments in the street in front of the establishment.
The Powder House has cabins.
Both have great Western atmosphere.

I will continue to try to send the best of the West.
