Glad to hear you and your bride enjoyed yourselves. I never understood why anyone would want to be a geologist until two buddies and I rode out there two years ago. We did the same rides you mentioned and stayed at a home in Spearfish Canyon--fantastic landscape.

Have a safe ride home and looking forward to your pics.

Told my wife I wanted to go for my 50th birthday which is next year, but I have a 10 month old new son and my little girl will be in 1st grade next year. So maybe I'll have to plan for my 60th birthday instead. Glad you and the Misses had a good time.

Gunner11, glad you had a great time! The weather has been great so far, though the obligatory rain 'is' coming...LOL

Have a safe ride home! I'm here for another 4 days, then I head home (Saturday 8/8).

Leave the 10 year old at home, you'd wish you never brought him if you did. Sturgis should not be enjoyed with kids.
