Last Week in Sturgis

These prairie dogs were outside Devil's Tower.  They were cute, and would pose for a picture..lol...and then jump back in their holes.  Just what you would want in your yard..lol...

We had a great week, using Sturgis, SD as a base.  We went to Spearfish Canyon, where there were several beautiful waterfalls, and lots of pine trees.  Just a great drive.  This brought us through several small towns like Deadwood, where the gold rush in the 1800's, caused them to develop.  Now they are tourist stops, where you can eat and gamble in a picturesque setting.  The Saloon #10 was a great lunch spot, for example.


Another day we drove down to Mt. Rushmore, which took us through Keystone, where we ate lunch at Ruby's.  Another old saloon with old photographs, and a motif of the 1899's.  You could also take a train ride on a steam engine train to Hill, but we drove instead.

Another day we headed toward Rapid City, and went to the Air and space Museum, where there were lots of airplanes, and of course the Minute Man Missile.  We took the tour, and were taken to one of the silos...very small, compared to the Titan Missile tour.  With improved technology, i can see why they became extinct.



Back in Sturgis, we heard about the Full Throttle Saloon, and decided to ride by.  They are only open for about 10 days a year, during the biker rally, where 15,000 people a night come and here music, etc..The place is huge!

Now we are off to Goshen Indiana for a rally with other Montana 5th wheel owners
