There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

For those heading to DW3 & Devils Tower. I keep talking to many people who have been to the tower many times but didn't know about the tower trail.
here we go. https://www.nps.gov/deto/planyourvisit/hiking.htm#CP_JUMP_5976967
Well worth the walk on a paved easy trail around the tower base

Another good one. Did the trail once, many years ago.

About a mile around. Paved and not too difficult of a walk only “rough” for a short stretch. Heck my wife made it around w/o much problem…

Hwy 85 from Newcastle to Cheyenne Crossing is a ride that is missed by a lot of people. Salt Creek overlook just outside Newcastle has a great view of the valley below, and from Buckhorn to Cheyenne Crossing is a scenic ride.

I am planning on coming up the old Cheyenne to Deadwood stage road Saturday so thanks for the tips.
If you want to avoid the four lanes and you’re coming from the east, think about taking Highway 12 out of Sioux City through the Niobrara River Valley. It’s a beautiful country and it has its own echo system. Lotta things to see you on the way to the Black Hills or deadwood.

Those traveling West to DW3 on roads South of I90 in SD. You will need to check SD511 for roads closed through reservation lands.

Also 83 south from Murdo is being completely redone and is closed from White River

Murdo...about one hour from the Badlands National Park. We used to stay at the Super 8 motel there on our Badlands trips. It was a new motel then. Liked the Auto Museum. And...because the time zone is just outside of Murdo...we could leave at 8:00 AM, drive the sixty miles to the Badlands entrance, and arrive there at 8:00 AM. I used to comment, we got there in no time at all.
The return trip was a different thing of course. :roflblack:

I've stayed at that hotel like you said...when it was new. Murdo geographically is a great town to stay when heading west and wanting to get into the Badlands early. That Auto Museum isn't half bad either. Trying to convince the wife that we should drive through the Badlands on Friday when the rally ends and we head east back to Sioux Falls.

Yes, the Badlands loop is a must see. From both directions. It's like going through two different parks. Stop at Cedar Pass Lodge at the Western side of the park. Buffalo burgers and Indian Fry bread. It does not get much better than that.

Great video. We did your tunnel ride twice (once in each direction) week before the 4th. Five of us, 2 BMW K1600, 2 Goldwings, and my F3. Had a great time. Have ridden these roads many times (6th trip to the Hills). Always great. Question for you though. What happened to all the trees at the bottom end of Spearfish Canyon?

Thanks! Damage is actually from 2 different tornadoes couple years apart. Rare for the Black Hills to have 1 that strong, let alone 2 so close in proximity and time.

That is a shame. I hear you on the rarity of tornadoes in the area. We have had a couple here in AZ which is also very unusual.
Thx

We’re headed out that way Wednesday from Colorado…going through Nebraska to Sioux City then up to Sioux Falls then over to Sturgis then to Wyoming and back home.
First long ride in a few years and first on the Spyder. We’re looking forward to it and having a nice little break from stuff.
If We see any Ryders along the way we’ll wave to ya ��

Now that daylight is getting shorter and temps colder, it's time to catch up on videos. Have a couple we need to put together, we just like to ride too much when it's nice out. Also going to highlight a few places to eat when you're here. Your tastes may vary.
