Another Motorcycle Tour Day

Today was another day on the motorcycle touring the black hills area. After breakfast, we left about 8:30 on our way to Lead, an old mining town with an open pit mine. Lead is situated on a steep hill and is hard to start and stop a motorcycle with a passenger. Then, we went down the hill to Deadwood, the town where Wild Bill Hickok was shot. After driving around, we went to Sturgis, home of the motorcycle rally.

We then went to Belle Fourche, looking for John Wayne and "The Cowboys", but the lady at the visitor center said he had left the area. All we found was the Geographic Center of the Nation.

Headed back to Custer, we rode through Spearfish and Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway.

We had a full couple of days, but I think Jed is ready for a break from the motorcycle. We have to leave early in the morning to be at the Ford Dealer.
