Never heard of Sturgis you say? Must not be a biker, or Harley Davidson fan. Not too much to the town so did not take pictures. Just know that every August 10's of thousands of bikers descend on this town for a rally.

Cannot imagine the noise with that many bikes here at one time. Been bad enough with those running around here now.
Sure you know Deadwood from the TV series a few years back. In reality it was your typical rough and rowdy western mining town. Perhaps it's lasting reputation comes from the fact that Wild Bill Hickock was shot and killed here. Had a hand of Aces and eights in poker, forever known as a deadmans hand. A lot of bars and small casinos make up historic main street.
Wild Bill is buried in the local cemetery here and along side of him is Calamity Jane. Useless trivia for you
You know we only visit the biggest, best, and most well known parks. Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave etc... What? You have never heard of Wind Cave? Must be because it did not become a National Park till 1903. Interesting story about the cave and how it became a national park
If you have read this silly blog at all you know I always recognize the efforts of the CCC's
