This is about as rural as it gets. Scenic is a ghost town. All the shops on the main strip are closed, the only store still open in Scenic is this one.
Scenic was recommended to us by our clerk at the liquor store in Pierre, so as loyal customers, we came here. I swear I could see tumbleweed at every turn.
We arrived at this trading post to take rest and to also explore the ghost town. The shop owners were friendly enough and were quite willing to chat. For $2.5million, you can buy the whole town of Scenic. Now, that is a steal. Just think, you could be the mayor of Scenic!
This is a hodge podge shop selling everything. You can find authentic beaded earrings, dreamcatchers, bracelets, bison jerky and used clothing too. It is also a thrift store. Very weird collection of things. I did manage to buy a very unique dreamcatcher for a very special person.
This was a nice break from the driving. We also got to chat with the store owners and learnt that she lives on a buffalo ranch. I love it!
We also got to walk around on the Main strip, and got to take a few snapshots of the town that longer exists. Wow, it is eerie! read more
