Looks like a nice way to go. Looks like everything is ok with some minor road construction..

Once I got to SD, I started heading toward Sturgis via Rte. 50 from Yankton, SD. This was a few years back and I didn't have a map or GPS. I had a compass and just followed my nose so to speak. I ended up somewhere west of the Missouri but damned if I recall how I got there.

The last time I went to Sturgis I took the southern route all the way across SD. Picked up 18 just south of S. Falls into Hot Springs. It was a damn good ride.
