Sturgis and Mt Rushmore


I finally left Wyoming and headed to South Dakota. More than 350 vendors were set up in Sturgis and the early arriving bikers were everywhere. Workers were preparing for the 800,000 plus riders expected. One bar has 400 waitresses working at a time. They make $800-$1200 each for a four hour shift. I asked the Organizers what were the dates of the event? They responded it actually starts the first of August with the official kick-off the first full weekend.
Betty and I are considering visiting next year. This rally has not only incredible entertainment, huge bars to enjoy a few while people watching, but numerous incomparable rides, guided fishing trips, Yellowstone, the Bad Lands Mt Rushmore and the Devil Tower to visit. The is by far the best biker rally to attend.
While walking down the street viewing activities, I ran into my friends from Wilminton. We walked for a while then had a token beer before we split up.
