Leaving on the 29th or 30th from NW Louisiana. Going up through AR, MO, cutting west at Nebraska City on Hwy 2 until I hit 385 South of the Black Hills and then into Sturgis. Staying at Elk View Campgrounds until the Rally is over. I have no time constraints so will just mosey up into Indian country to see what I can see.

Just curious, to those who have been to Sturgis, are there many lone riders going solo? I am planing to go next year just for the experience, but I am not sure if I will hook up with others to ride across the country.
