2007 07 02 Sturgis, South Dakota


















If you're a fan of motorcycles, you've certainly heard of Sturgis, South Dakota. This is Mecca if you're a biker. We drove from Rapid City through the meadows and mountains to Nemo and on to Sturgis. Of course we bought biker t-shirts for the Justin and Peyton, and a Buffalo Chip t-shirt for Joe. After lunch at Rosco's (a burger of course) it was on to Deadwood - the infamous town where Wild Bill Cody was gunned down during a card game. Places of an historic nature are well marked, however gambling and tourist shops are the norm. Tours of old gold mines and wild west sets offering old-time photos, souveneir shops filled with paper weights, key chains, coffee mugs and t-shirts. What we enjoyed most was the beautiful scenery. South on Hwy 385 to Silver City back to Rapid City. Another great drive to take in the area.
