OH-OH!



Crazy Horse Memorial



 

OPPS!





We saw the Crazy Horse Memorial...Awesome. We started up into Custer State Park and saw a sign about a one lane tunnel but no turn around...so we continued on our way.  We made it up the switchbacks towing our trailer and we almost made it through the one lane tunnel carved through the rock. We rubbed the front top right corner right up against a rock outcropping inside the tunnel.  OH-OH! But we made it. Still no buffalo, but saw a lot of wild turkeys (Do they know about Thanksgiving coming up in a couple of months?). The trees are changing color, the sun is warm, the breeze is chilly and fall-like. The drive was beautiful.



Laton used to ride a bike like this
when he did motocross in the 70's.



We continued our way through Hill City where we stopped at a Christmas Shop called Mistletoe Ranch and at Prairie Berry Winery where we bought some Red-Ass Rhubarb Wine, drove through the town of Deadwood and stopped in Sturgis, SD to tour the Motorcycle Museum.  That was fun and interesting until we came out to a half flat tire on the truck.  Luckily we found a repair shop to fix the tire just 3 blocks away. Of course this repair required us to find a large parking lot (the church 1/2 block away worked well), unhook the trailer, take the truck back to the shop for the tire repair, then hook the trailer back up and head to the nearest large town (Rapid City, SD) so we can buy a new tire tomorrow. So, thankfully, we have a whole bottle of wine to sooth our troubles away tonight!
