This past Wed we ended up in Bozeman exactly where we began our trip 10 days ago! We drove east through Billings and on to Sheridan, on of our favorite little towns, where we spent the night.

On Thurs we drove to Deadwood, SD. They were having the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, 15 miles away. Deadwood was full of motorcycle dudes and their biker babes. They were parked solid from one end of the town to the other.
We took a tour visiting Boot Hill where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are buried. In the evening we drove over to Stergis to see what that was all about. Basically it's about being seen on your motorcycle and looking at others, trying to determine who has the coolest wheels. We drove through town and then had our picture taken in front of the “Stergis” sign. Some guy let us sit on his motorcycle.

Yesterday, Fri we drove to Mt. Rushmore and toured it. We rented an audio device and thought that was the way to go. Then we drove to Custer Park and drove the entire loop. We spent the night in Keystone , SD.


This morning we drove on eastward. We ended up in Mitchell, SC. The Corn Palace is here. We'll check that out in the morning.
