Walking out to the bikes and it's already 72 degrees at 8:30 I'm guessing it's gonna be hot.
Coming over the crest of the hill I can see it, from my childhood days watching Close Encounters I have wanted to see this monument. Movie Screen and TV doesn't do this monument justice. The visitor center is chock full of amazing info on this beautiful site.
Almost 2 hours later we are at yet another amazing monument...Mount Rushmore.
The grounds are incredible, the monument is simply breathtaking. You cant begin to imagine the sheer depth of the work put forth on this memorial until you see it up close.
Leaving the monument heading west on 90 you are completely surrounded by bikes. loud, thunderous amazing bikes.
Coming off the ramp, everywhere you turn is a sign welcoming bikers! Tent cities on peoples front lawns, food vendors as far as the eye can see. Then there is parking, on the main street are bikes nosed in, backed in...thousands of them, not to mention the people. All shapes, sizes, ages and colors. what an awesome site!
I rode mine to Sturgis in 2009!
