Deadwood/Sturgis, South Dakota
Since we had another beautiful day (second day in a row I wore jeans instead of shorts!), we decided to take a ride over to Deadwood, about 45 miles northwest of Rapid City. It was a fine day for a drive. Deadwood was relatively quiet (dare I say "dead"?),and the "main drag" was primarily bars and "casinos" (aka, "places with a few slot machines" here). We walked a bit and window shopped a bit, but when you've been to Vegas this is a little tame. Maybe if we'd stayed for the staged gunfight in the middle of the main street?
We did a "drive by" in Sturgis on the way back, since that's where we needed to get back on I-90 to get to Rapid City. We intentionally timed our stay here in the Black Hills to be after the peak of the biker rally traffic, so it was interesting to see the town in its "natural state". Life is, indeed, good.
