Yes, that's right, Hickok is spelled without a second "c". Wild Bill is buried famously here in Deadwood, South Dakota, murdered while he played cards. Laura and I mistakenly parked at a park at the bottom of the hill marked "cemetery". Turns out, the cemetery itself had plenty of parking, and was about 4 blocks (straight up) away. Wild Bill and Calamity Jane's headstones are easy to find, and quite close to the actual entrance. Sheriff Seth Bulock is a Grouse Grind worthy climb up above the cemetery (OK - only 750' above the cemetery - but it is at about a 30 degree climb).
