South Dakota Trip Day Five

Hello Blog Followers! We did the northern Black Hills tour today, including Belle Fourche, Sturgis, Deadwood, and picturesque Spearfish Canyon. We encountered our day of bad weather today...it was rainy in the morning, and cold, about 60 degrees. But, as you all know, we can't control the weather, and we came to South Dakota prepared for rain or shine. The weather cleared up by the time we went to Deadwood in the afternoon, so all was good. Here is today's installment of pictures from the Black Hills:

Spearfish Canyon:

In Deadwood, we saw a reenactment of a gunfight featuring these actors:

In Sturgis, we visited the Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame. Here are some of the bikes they had on display:

It was raining in Belle Fourche, so we toured their visitor center, which included a museum of artifacts from the area. Here is a T-Rex jawbone segment they had on display there:

Belle Fourche's claim to fame is that it is the Geographic Center of the United States. Our plan for tomorrow is to ride the 1880 train between Hill City and Keystone, and to tour Wind Cave National Park. More tomorrow from the road.
