The Blackhills of South Dakota .... Riders Paradise

July 12/2014 Saturday Beautiful sunny warm day 82, night in the 60's.  Another T Storm late afternoon.  We seem to be timing it just right and heading out early since and just in when the thunderstorms hit.  This is the 3rd day in a row.   Our stay here is in Rapid City at Rushmore Shadows RV Resort.  It's a good campground for location to do all the riding in this area. 

There are motorcycles on every turn and bend, it really is a riders paradise.

along Spearfish Canyon
The 180 mile loop today took us to Hill City then north to Lead and Spearfish Canyon then around to the famous gold mining town of Deadwood (I am hooked on the TV HBO series of Deadwood, it brings Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and Sheriff Seth Bullock to life)
main street in Deadwood

and on to Sturgis where the infamous Biker Rally has been held for over 70 years now, then south back to Rapid City.
