Return to SD, Day 3, 9-26-09

After loosing $8.00 to the casino in Deadwood, I didn't feel like going back to give them more money today. So, we spent most of the day riding. From Sturgis, we took off north on 79 to a little black top road, 168.
After that, we went to Belle Fourche and stopped at Wyatt's Hideaway Campground. We sat on the porch and talked to Kent, the owner, for a while. We left there and took 85 to Spearfish, and down Spearfish Canyon. There was more traffic in the canyon, than anywhere else we've been so far.
I got a few pics from in the canyon. Bridal Viel Falls.

More from Spearfish Canyon.


After the canyon, we went up to Deadwood and checked out a few places. We stopped at the largest model rialroad set-ups I've ever seen. You can deposit 50 cents in a coin slot and the trains run for close to 5 minutes. It was pretty cool.
From Deadwood, we took 85 to Crook City Road, into Whitewood, and then the frontage road to Sturgis. We took a nice quick run up and down the first ten miles of Vanocker Canyon Road. About a 200 mile day.
