First stop - Gillette, SD - where we spent the night. It was getting dark when we arrived so we waited till the morning to head out to Devil's
Tower. It's pretty awesome to see in person...
(no 'close encounters', tho')
As we made our way up to Deadwood, we decided we might as well do a 'drive by' of Sturgis. Not much going on at the time (of which we were kinda grateful for since both of us are very much NON motorcycle enthusiasts lol), so it was pretty quiet.
Once we arrived in Deadwood, we checked in to the Bullock Hotel. We hear Seth Bullock still walks the hallways...
After we checked in we decided we walked the town a little. Since this was such an impromptu trip, turns out we went in the off season (off-off season, I'd say). So it was really quiet as well. Not a lot going on. Some restaurants were even closed.
The weather was beautiful, tho, and the forecast for the following day was rainy and cold. We decided to take advantage and headed on over to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse.
Mt Rushmore was awesome! I took so many pictures from all different angles. I especially liked how they created 'catch lights' in the eyes. So cool!!
We wanted to come back at night to see it when the lights come on but the weather decided to turn a bit early. So we headed back to Deadwood for the night.
