Deadwood to Lusk

Thursday, 12th August 2010

We left Deadwood on the Thursday morning, anxious to resume our adventures on the road. It was great to stay in one place for a few days, but there are still a lot of wonderful places to visit, as we begin the second leg of this epic tour.

We began with a ride through Keystone - keeping an eye out for the cops - & pretty soon we were faced with Mount Rushmore. We stopped for a few photos, but carried on to Crazy Horse where we were to spend a couple of hours learning more about this mammoth task. This is much more of an achievement, when you consider it was one man's dream, with no government help or funding. The monument to Crazy Horse is a fantastic tribute to native American Indians, & will not be completed for many, many years.
