Deadwood SD Smoke Plume (SPC Cool Image)
The 2002 fire season in the West was historically devastating. One of those fires erupted in the northern Black Hills, very near Deadwood SD, burning trees through canyons and hillsides on over 700 acres and closing US 385 (the main north-south route through the Hills).
