Spokane WA to Spearfish/Deadwood SD on my RT-S

[enigmatic biker]

Due to a family related scheduling conflict, I was unable to go the the first 3-Wheel Rally in Deadwood, but I did go to the ST-1300/NT-700 National Rally just next door in Spearfish, and I decided to ride the Spyder instead of my NT. The Spyder was a comfortable ride and I enjoyed having the opportunity to stretch her legs a little putting just over 2100 miles on her during the 6-day trip. It is a nice touring bike and it got plenty of stares and comments at fuel and rest stops, which to me has always been one of the more enjoyable aspect to riding.

I did ride the Spearfish Canyon Road to Lead and then Deadwood and hung out there for a few hours with some of my rally buddies the week prior to the 3-Wheel Rally, so I thought I'd post a few pics.

I am curious to how the actual 3-wheel event went.
How many Spyders were there vs other types of trikes?
Were there organized rides or events?
How were the recommended accommodations?

It's on my agenda for next year, so a heads up would be nice for planning purposes.

Search Deadwood 3 wheel rally, I posted what info is known to this point including dates and hotel info, a schedule is being worked on and will come out on the 3 wheel rally facebook page later. It has been expanded some for the 12-17 July, 2016-the first 2 days will be some individual rides and charity work.
