Sturgis, Spearfish Canyon. The Sights we've seen the week of 6.24.2012





There is lots to see around here.  This week we went to Sturgis....just 22 miles away and visited the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame. It was very nice.  Dale loved seeing all of the old bikes.  Today we took a drive through Spearfish Canyon.  It was beautiful.  Lots of pine trees and running water.  We drove by Bridal Falls and took a little side jaunt to see Roughneck Falls.  Bridal Falls didn't have much going on but Roughneck was very pretty.  We continued our drive to Lead which is home to the Homestake Gold Mine.  That is one big hole in the ground.  They were having a Car Show so we checked out all the cars.  Dale's favorite was a purple 1949 Ford.  He wants one of those (haha).  We continued down the road to Deadwood.  That is definately a place we'll have to spend more time at.  Maybe during the week when it's not so busy.  It was so crowded we couldn't find a place to park at the Visitor and Information Center.  We did drive down the main street of old downtown.  Yep....gotta go back there.  Not the first week in August, though.  That's Motorcycle Rally week and I'm thinking that place will be CRAZY.  We are enjoying our "summer place" it's a little hot (108), we're hoping that won't be the norm.
