STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA

Greetings to all who viist this BLOG. We are camped in Sturgis, about 25 miles west of Rapid City. We love this campground. It is clean and green, lots of wildflowers, quiet and the owners are real friendly. We are close to Mt. Rushmore, Custer Nat. Park, Deadwood, and a host of other attractions. The Sturgis Black Hills Motorcycle Rally starts on the 6th of August, and this little town grows from 7000 to over 600,000 for a week. We were hoping to get out of here before the madness, but due to some time requirements with Meade County, we will remain here until the 15th. Due to previous reservations, we will have to move from our lovely spot to a very similar site, but it will be dry camping for a week or so, no problemo.
Sturgis is starting to morph into "Bikerville", new signage, T-shirt tents opening up on every street corner, campgrounds being groomed for a million tents. The city streets will be blocked off for motorcycles and emergency vehicles only.
Hope all of you are enjoying your summer and are well and happy. Stay in touch, hope tp see you soon..............
