This is the famous road that goes through the Black Hills and down to Custer National Park. The sign speaks for itself. Needless to say you do not want to take a full-size motorhome on this road. There is no place to turn around easily.
We have seen tour buses go through a couple of these tunnels but it is a really tight fit and close call.
We have concluded that the forest service people stack up the loose brush and shrub into these piles for the animals so they can build nests and homes in them. They are all over the forest.
The famous Mount Rushmore heads. The shadows weren't working with me on this picture.
Unfortunately we were going in the wrong direction and there was no place to stop at the tunnel where you can see the heads as you exit the tunnel.
I'm not sure what's going on here. As we approched this tunnel we saw these two groups of bikers (one on each side). Don't know what's up. Any ideas?
Maybe it was a photo op for them and/or they were waiting for their friends or something.
It's a nice sign isn't it?
The rolling hills were stunning with the green grasses.
Inside the Visitor's Center there was a small wildlife display.
This little guy caught my eye, he appears to be having a bad hair day. I can relate to that.
You can see the entire area was preparing for the arrival of bikers for the Sturgis event. This was inside Custer State Park which is quite a distance from Sturgis.
Even though it wasn't close, you can see there were several motorcyclists who decided to stop and have lunch and maybe one or two of those $2.00 cold beers.
