One of the things we did not get to do in 2018 was to visit Sturgis and Deadwood SD. Sturgis is famous for the huge motorcycle rally held in August every Year. Deadwood is famous for the outlaws that used to roam its streets. We really did not want to try and go to Sturgis during the rally since there will be hundreds of thousands of people and motorcycles during that week. So we went over early. There were a lot of vendors already setting up their tents. We wandered through the merchants, bought gifts and tee shirts, and had a late lunch at the Iron Horse Saloon. We then drove over to the historical mining town of Deadwood. Where Sturgis is definitely motorcyclist counter culture oriented, Deadwood is family oriented and surprisingly larger than Sturgis. We wandered through the stores and watched a reenactment of a shootout on main street. Since we were close, we drove through the small quiet town of Lead. Then took the backroads through the Black Hills to the Wanderer where we saw a large Big Horn Sheep down near the road.
