She’s Gone by Jeffrey aka JJ Spain

I left Hill City on highway 385 north to Deadwood, I had to see it for myself. The temperature was in the low 30s, a little cold for a ride but it wasn’t respectful to go in a car.
Dark smoke belched from the black mass of rubble, as a small breeze drifted the smokey haze into the pines. A police officer directed traffic while firetrucks and volunteer firemen hosed the area.
Thirty straight rally years did I enjoyed many a beer, burgers and conversations at this place. Now she’s gone.
I hope the Sugar Shack can make it back.
