Another Sturgis Thread
O.K. so I searched & researched other threads on camping at/during Sturgis rally week. I've never been there so this will be my first & most likely just me-all alone because I can't seem to get my fellow biker friends to go along. Actually I'll be doing a 3 week ride out to Glacier N.P.,Yellowstone,Teton N.P. Beartooth hwy. then on my way back home stopping at Sturgis for a few days at the rally.So here is my plan for camping at the big event:
Sunday,Aug.4th. camp at the Buffalo Chip...get there early & spend the day meeting others & that night see ZZ Top.
Monday,Aug. 5th. pull up stakes & head to Days End campground in Sturgis to get close to the action. In other words being able to have a few beers without having to worry about driving a bike-drunk. Probably stay here for 2 days then head out.
Going it alone does'nt bother me...I"m just trying to see what others think of this plan. Thanks for any input.....good or bad.

Buffalo Chip has a lot of action as well. Sounds generally like a great plan. You will definitely be seeing some great parts of the country. Planning on riding around Sturgis? Spearfish canyon, Shell canyon, etc??? You will have a great time and make new friends!

Too funny as that's looking like the same plan I'm coming up with too. Saw the Chip had ZZ Top and the ticket includes 1 night. We are coming from Washington and will pick up the wives at Rapid City after a couple of days in Sturgis (perfect - right). Then we will be heading back to Washington together. Not sure of the path back but it's sure to include points west off the interstate. Figure I need to make reservations by next week for Sturgis. So maybe we can hookup in Sturgis since it looks like we may be staying at the same places.
