Sturgis Bike Rally 2014

We accidentally ended up in the Black Hills of South Dakota at the same time the Sturgis rally was going on.  Some people chose to not go to the Black Hills with so many motorcycles on the roads.  Since we are ex-Harley owners we really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful bikes.  A lot of the surrounding towns really cater to the bikers.  We were in Custer, Hill City, and Deadwood.  Sturgis was about 75 miles from our campground so we didn't go there.  There were plenty of bikes to see anyway.

Custer State Park - Custer, South Dakota

Our campground is in Custer, South Dakota because we wanted to be on the south side of the Black Hills since we had already been to the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, and Wall Drugs which are north and east of Custer.

One day we took a drive through the wildlife loop of Custer State Park ($15).  We probably would have seen more wildlife if we had gone early in the morning, but I still got some nice photos.

Pronghorns - no zoom used.  They were right beside the road.
