We got up this morning and decided to head North. This is the start of September and we are into our seventh week on the road. We took 385 up through the National Forest checking out sights along the way. We ended up driving into Deadwood to play tourist. We walked the town, the grave yard, and the streets. We watched the gunfight "The strange tale of David Lunt" in the street show and had an icecream to finish it off. If you have a camper park in the Welcome Center on the North side of town.
From Deadwood we drove through Lead which isn't really much. We did check out the ore mine museum and then on to Spearfish. The Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway is AWSOME! Cliff walls and waterfalls. We checked out the city park campground but $$$$ We headed up Forest Service Road 134 Tinton Road and found us a nice campsite not far in. We are at trail 8002 which we hiked this evening.
Wednesday we got up and did part of the bike trail 55 which is across the road from us. We drove on to Sturgis to check it out. I can see that they survive on the rallies. We walked the streets and then drove out to Bear Butte State Park. We checked out the lake and did a hike up the Butte. We saw Buffalo, a rabbit, and birds. We came back down and had lunch at the lake campground.
On the way back to Sturgis we stopped for fuel. I heard music playing and sure enough they were having a Mustang rally next door. We had to check that out. Live band and lots of Mustangs. After watching the driving practice rounds we headed out, but didn't make it very far. We came across a creek next to the road with parking. The afternoon was spent enjoying the sun, the water, and scenery. We got some book reading time in too. Dinner back at camp.
