Tuesday in Deadwood

Our first stop on the ride of the day. Gas an a visit.  

Chain saw art.

9 AM.  Just the 5 of us on this ride.

We stopped in Keystone for Lunch

Jamey T, co-rally organizer went with us this morning

Pickers would have fun in some of these stores.

Keystone is a quaint tourist town

Nice shady parking place

Hard to make a decision about a place to eat.

Almost chose this one, but one up stairs got the majority vote

The menu was inside this old Television set.

Waitress took this one.

Skid wore his vroc vest today

This this is a vulcan rally, we gather around Jamey's Vulcan Nomad.

Mount Rushmore.  I took this from Iron Mountain Road

A tunnel along the main highway.  Mount Rushmore in the distance

Skid, Sandy and Lanny

Beautiful roads in the Black Hills

A small natural Bridge

Another view of Mt. Rushmore

We also rode the Needles Highway. Spectacular scenery!

A little like Utah, but damper, colder and greener

We followed  a tourist bus for awhile up the mountain.  I think Sandy breathed in too much diesel fumes.

This lady was tending a rock climber. He was Waaaay up this steep rock

There were several others up here check out the Needles

We all took a lot of pictures

Barely enough room for a tour bus to pass through the many tunnels on this road

He's almost to the top

He did make it all the way up, and is now repelling down

Almost back to Deadwood, we had a 15 minute dalay for some paving.

"Trouble", or rally co-organizer', Zeke, Don, and Skid

Chuck "Mac Guy" from Washington

Cranky shook off a driving light on his Nomad.  He and Chuck are discussing a fix.

Susan, Lanny and Badger

The "Plan" for the week

Bill "Cranky" and Melanie

The bar in Buffalo Bill's

Who "IS" this Cowgirl?

We expect only a total of around 35 people tomorrow. 11 of us went to dinner this evening

VROC Ladies hamming it up with the plastic cowboys

Don't get bucked off!

I had the low Carb Special.  It was very good!

Don (Penmaker), Chuck and Cranky

An evening of visiting

Chuck and Don.  

Old friends and new.  It will be a long evening of catching up

Yvette, Susan and Sandy

Croppy and Charles are from Nebraska.  Skid is visiting with them.  I think this will be a wrap for the day, about time for me to hit the hay.
