Sturgis Memorial Bricks

What  a day we had yesterday, again.  We decided to visit "Sturgis" So. Dakota.  Very small town but home to the "Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally".  We walked around seeing the BIG photos of the town with the bikers and workers.  The Memorial Brick walkway is very special with engraved photo bricks or just the name of bikers who have died.  The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum was really nice too.  To see the Indian bikes, older Harley's was great.  I loved the Posters of different Rallies and Movie Stars on their bikes.  Glad we toured it.  We ate at the "Easy Rider" Saloon which had great food and more posters.   Worth the drive.

Then we went to Bear Country USA.  It was a nice ride around and we enjoyed seeing all the animals.  We saw Elk, Mountain Goats, Buffalo, Moose, Linx, Wolf and many Bears just walking around etc.  Nice time.

Today we decided to go to Hot Springs to visit the "Mammoth Site".  Wow, this was great to see and really view the dig and bones of these huge animals.  Interesting to see how it these Mammoth remains were discovered. These developer was moving dirt to build a Housing Development.  Then one day a bulldozer unearthed some bones and this huge project began.  On the way back to Keystone we drove into very bad weather.  The sky was dark and looked ominous.  The rain came down fast and the lighting was bright.  We had to pull to the side because Scott could not see to drive.  Terrible, scary and I did not like it one bit.  Lasted about 10 minutes and we are told happens a lot out here.

Anyway, hope you like the photos.
