Default Sturgis daily expender

Been to the Black Hills numerous times. Have always
budgeted 100.00 a day for one meal, gas and a beer stop for the wife and I. Not that were cheap, but always returned with plenty of money. Read that everything is more expensive during the rally. Curious to know what your daily expenditures have been

Sounds about right. Dinner for 2 around $45. Lunch for 2 - $15. Breakfast at the hotel so, no charge. Gas about $15 per day, depending on where we go. Love Spearfish and Deadwood - so, we often go there and hang out

Are you sleeping under your bike? One of the biggest expenditures is lodging. Oh, and really? One meal??
