This is Shane Ramsey and I’m back with another episode. I’m on my way to Sturgis, South Dakota. Originally named Scooptown, but later renamed in honor of the Civil War Union General Samuel D. Sturgis. Located in the Black Hills, This small town usually has a population of about 7,000 but swells to over a half a million in August during its world-famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. This place is known for its biker’s bars, beers, and good times, which sounds cool, but I’m just driving through.
I’m not too into souvenir shopping, but this downtown looks like it has a lot of options. If I had time I’d stop by Loud American Roadhouse or The Knuckle and have a “Knuckle Sandwich” for lunch, maybe next time.
I will check out the nearby National Historic Landmark, Bear Butte, or “Mato Paha” in Lakota. This site is sacred to the Lakota, Cheyenne, and other plains tribes. Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull used to spend time here and it’s rich in history. I hear there is a nice, less than 2-mile, hike with amazing scenery.
Speaking of hiking, the Centennial Trail is close-by. This 111-mile trail takes hikers over grasslands, prairies, through the Black Hills, and all the way down rolling hills of Wind Cave National Park. Now that would be a hiking and camping adventure!
I would also like to see Old Fort Meade Museum, which served as a US Cavalry Post for the United States Army, during the Great Western Expansion. It was established in 1878 and outlived most military frontier posts until 1944. This place is rich in history too.
I should mention the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame. It would be really cool to see their collection of vintage motorcycles. Plus there is Buffalo Chip Campground that I will likely stay at next time I come.
Like I said, I was just driving through… and now I’m on my way to find some dispersed camping in Custer National Forest near Reva Gap. I hear the terrain is beautiful there, white buttes, grassy hills, all surrounded by a forest of pine trees. If you can’t tell, I’m sorta in the mode of spending time with myself and getting into balance with nature. That should give me some time tonight to practice night photography and, maybe even, some light painting. For now, I might as well just enjoy this peaceful drive. Sometimes I wish I could share.
Backroads of SD
This is a bit of South Dakota state highway 34, east of Sturgis, heading east. A great two lane highway, good quality pavement, and long sweeping turns. Miles and miles of miles and miles. August 9, 2013 riding a 2012 Victory Vision

Lead to Deadwood, South Dakota. Black Hills Destinations. Wild West.
Spending time in the towns of Lead and Deadwood is like taking a step back in time. As you walk the streets you can imagine the wild west and the characters that once roamed the Black Hills.
Lead, home of the Homestake Mining Company, was a little tamer than the gambling and brothel run town of Deadwood. Pheobe Hearst, mother of the media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, was one of the first in the nation to build a town that took care of her workers. Pheobe was responsible for building a public library, kindergarten, and an opera house. There was a community center and holiday celebrations to bring the town together. Today the longest working gold mine in the northern hemisphere is home to Stanford Labs where they are experimenting with dark matter a mile under the surface.
Deadwood was the town where you went for a drink, a woman, or a game of cards. Known for it's lawlessness and colorful characters Deadwood has a special charm of it's own. From the brick streets and matching buildings to wild west characters like Wild Bill Hickock roaming the streets this town screams wild west charm. A visit to the Black Hills would not be complete with out taking this step back in time.
