So every other year my husband goes to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. We've been together a while now so this is my 2nd rally with him! I LOVE South Dakota. If I thought I could get away with it I would move there. Not likely though considering he hates the cold. He wants to move to Florida some day, not too bad a choice with all the horse shows and things that go on down there it's like horsey paradise down side... I hate being hot and the summers there are HOT!
Anyway, nothing too interesting to say I just didn't want you to think I'd given up on the blog already. The rally was epic, lots of craziness and beautiful rides. Also I think I got a LITTLE too close to some buffalo, I'll try to post the video of that and some pictures for you to see. Nothing too risky though, I'll save those for a scrapbook or something hahaha!
I've been out to South Dakota several times, I lived in Washington state for a short period of time so I've been all the way across the western United States. Some how in the 10+ trips I've made out west, I've never seen Devil's Tower which is the picture on the top left. It was amazing to see and Wyoming was a beautiful ride.
There is a native story about how the rock was made. Some young women were playing out in the woods and came across some bears which chased them. The girls climbed on top of a rock and prayed asking the rock to get bigger and taller to save them from the bears. As the prayed the rock began to grow and as it grew the bears would claw at it trying to climb up to the girls which is how Devil's Tower got the weird markings on the side. Another story involves aliens or something and I wasn't all that interested in reading that one haha!
The second picture is obviously Mt. Rushmore which I never get tired of visiting. The third picture is at Roughlock Falls, a stop we made on the way to Deadwood, SD. The waterfalls are absolutely breath taking.
So here are some other random (appropriate) pictures from the motorcycle rally and different rides we took throughout the week. Just and FYI the picture of the buffalo was not zoomed in, he was really that close and you'll see in the video at the end just how close they were. I also got lucky and got my picture taken with Rick Petko from American Choppers if you know anything about that show you know him if ya don't... Google him haha!
This is a short video, I have one almost a minute long but I didn't think it was a good idea to post it because I was cursing in it haha! Enjoy!
