The Black Hills Roundup was great fun! Thought I'd share a few photos of my trip with y'all.
First, a little confusion about the marque in Nebraska. Or is this home for BeemerDon?
Plenty of horizon on the way through NE and SD.
Bell's Motor Lodge was nice, a vintage motel, well maintained, working neon under the eaves. You'll have to click here to see photos. I never got any of the outside.
The real scenery began the next morning with a trip down Spearfish Canyon.
I followed 14A into Sturgis...so now I can tell everyone who asks, "yes, I've been to Sturgis."
Out front a hack from the sidecar rally that was in town was getting new shoes. (Really, it wasn't a final drive issue.)
At some road construction I caught up with Niehart, PanMan, and JimieJimie. They must have thought Festar was with us, as they insisted on running in the left lane.
(Actually, we were following the pilot truck and happy to not be riding on the fresh chip seal.)
A while later we stopped for photos of Mt. Rushmore near one of the tunnels on 16A. Believe, me that's Mt. Rushmore behind the tree.
In Custer we stopped for burgers at Black HIlls Burger and Bun . Great food and sassy service. They anticipated a visit from our friends from the Pacific NW.
That evening back at the hotel, we got an answer to the question, "How many people does it take to change a BMW light bulb?"
Friday night wrapped up with a walk down the street to the weekly town celebration. Several streets blocked off, many food vendors, a great band, and a few FJR hooligans.
Next post, I'll cover Saturday, including food porn.
