We moved out of the campground in Rapid City, SD this morning. While we were in Rapid City we took a trolley and did a tour of the city. They have bronze statues of the Presidents on every corner of the downtown area. We also went to a Chapel in the Hills. It is a replica of the famous 850 yr old Borgund Stavkirke located near Laerdal, Norway. The craftsmanship on this chapel was amazing. (Pictures).
We spent a day doing a scenic ride at the Spearfish Canyon. So Dakota is so beautiful. Another day we went to Deadwood. That was fun. We went to a saloon where they had a re-inactment of the card game played by Wild Bill Hickok in which he was shot to death. After the card game we walked down the street a little ways to find a western shoot out in the middle of the street.
We also took a drive through Sturgis (where the annual motorcycle rally is). Bikers are starting to arrive. Their bike rally begins the weekend of the 8th. Wasn't as busy there as we thought it would be,,,,guess they are out sightseeing in the daytime also. They are expecting 6 to 800,000 bikers for the rally.
Moving on to Wyoming tomorrow.
