Well my dad lives in western Nebraska, and he's wanted to meet up before it started snowing to go four wheeling again. We went to Medicine Bow in Wyoming this summer. So we decided instead of going to Wyoming again, we would meet in the Black Hills since it was a little closer for me.
I set out from Fargo, ND Friday morning. I didn't stop much to take pics on the way down. I stopped in Glen Ullin, ND at KraZkustoms to check out his place, I had met him and his wife at a NDSRA annual meeting a couple years ago and just decided to stop. Ended up buying some parts from him that I would pick up on Sunday, helped pay for a little bit of the trip.
Well I figured I needed at least one pic for the day, so as I got just outside of my destination, Sturgis, SD, I stopped to get a picture:
So I made it in to Sturgis and I met my dad at the hotel who had his pickup and the four wheeler and his Bobcat side by side he just bought. We hopped in my pickup and drove into Deadwood, had supper and played some blackjack. I was $10 up for the night.
The next morning we got up, went and had breakfast and then headed out. The gal at the front desk was very helpful telling us some good places to ride. So we loaded up and head for Gilena Rd, just south of where we were staying.
Nice way to start the morning:
We climbed this steep hill, and when we got to the top I found this old stone marker. We didn't know what it was for but as I was driving back and noticed the newer markers for the 1876 Bismarck-Deadwood trail, I'm wondering if it was an original for that? Maybe someone who knows the area better can shed some light.
We watched these Jeeps pass over this rock ledge, and later when we came back by again there was an old FJ and a 4-runner at the same spot and watched them.
Some more pics from the morning:
