After breaking camp at Mt. Rushmore KOA, we decided to head up to Rapid City to buy a camera. My sister had bought a new one just prior to our meeting in the Smokies and we fell in love with it. As luck would have it, we found the exact one and bought it. After leaving Rapid City, we headed for Sturgis S.D. Sturgis has a population of 6600 people. But during the first or second week in August, every Harley owner converges on the tiny town to have a fun filled week partying.
It was extremely hot and miserable so we just drove through town once and headed down to Deadwood, an old mining town. We stayed at the KOA and met another couple who had a pop up camper, very much like ours. They were from Minnesota and traveling just like we are. Not in any hurry to be anywhere.
For supper, we drove into the town of Deadwood and ate supper at an old western saloon/hotel. It was kind of neat but the food and service fell quite a bit short of good. We strolled downtown until after dark then headed back to the campground. Another long day but still had fun.
