First thing we did was head
to the Iron Mtn road to ride that again and get photo’s of Buzz at the tunnel
with Rushmore at the other end of the tunnel.
We caught the light just right for some great photos!
At the end of the Iron Mtn
ride we headed over to the Crazy Horse Monument
After Crazy Horse we headed
up US385 to Deadwood and visited Saloon #10 (supposedly the saloon where Hickok
was killed, but history has him being killed in Nuttal & Mann’s
Saloon). We waited over 20 minutes and
never saw a waiter/waitress so we left and went to another restaurant for
dinner.
Deadwood has been a mythical
place to me, a place I had wanted to visit and stroll about, ever since
watching the Deadwood series. That no
longer is the case. Deadwood is a street
of casinos, lousy food, and not much else.
I guess if you’re a gambler this place will hold some fantasy for
you. I was happy to leave the place and
don’t expect to be back there to visit.
From Deadwood we headed over
to Sturgis to get Buzz a beer at the Broken Spoke and Full Throttle Saloons. This has been one of Buzz’s goals in coming
out west. Unfortunately the Broken Spoke
lost it’s wheel at its original location and is closed or relocated somewhere
else outside of town. We rode on to the
Full Throttle and Buzz had his beer.
It
was a real hoot watching him in the saloon.
He poked through a display of shirts looking for a special one but
didn’t luck out. Then he discovered the
donkey by the piano. He thot it was a
stuffed one and I told him “no, it’s a real donkey”. He inched closer to it step by step until he
finally confirmed it when the donkey moved its ear. Buzz was like a boy outta Kansas New York City
With it being 11pm and the Full Throttle was closing we rode the 30
miles back to Rapid
City
