Today we left the very nice KOA in the Badlands to venture towards Sundance Wyoming for our one night stop over. As I sit here in Sundance writing this the days memories go to , man I wish I had my Harley to take this trip today. Gary, lets rent bikes and a trailer and head to Sturgis next August, this is bike rider heaven!!!!
First we stopped in Hill City for breakfast at the local's place. It is a cute little ’cowboyish’ town. Then drove to Crazy Horse. (It is much more than a memorial statue of Crazy Horse, the family of the artist had a vision of an Indian University, a hospital and telling the Indian story that has been ‘white’ washed in all our history lessons.) Afterwords went to Mt. Rushmore about 11 miles away and awe inspiring. Then towards Sundance through Deadwood and Sturgis.
Tonight in the town of Sundance we have a city sponsored reenactment of the era of Harry Alonza Longabaugh when he lived here; the “Sundance Kid”. (He did not live here, he did an 18mos stent in the local Hooskow.) A nice stroll around the town’s historic sites with beer or wine while hearing the town’s wild west history. But Debbie stole his gun and almost snuck a kiss from the young outlaw.
I love driving through the Black Hills, wish I had a motorcycle.
Tomorrow we ride…opps…drive for Yellowstone National Park, it is a fur piece, don’t know if we will make it that fur.
