Yellowstone to minneapolis part 2

I am moving along but I took some days off over the last two weeks.  The days of fall have been great but I know that the good days may disappear at anytime.  When the temperatures turned too cold last winter I went  inside.  I will miss the outside rides, but I can't handle the cold air. 

Going from Gillette in Wyoming to Midland in South Dakota.

Keyhole State Park in Wyoming at Bluff Top Campsite.

I call up the website and due to Covid-19 the park camping is still closed. A virtual tour is the best I can do now.

I remember the Devil's Tower from the movie Close Encounters and I still want to get there some day.   This is in the Black Hills and it is the first National Monument.  It is 867' from the base to the top.  

Vore Buffalo Jump was used from 1500 to 1900. The area contains the remains of 20,000 bison.

Bridal Veil Falls on the Spearfish Canyon.

From the Black Hills National Forest take a side trip to Deadwood. I loved the HBO series.

George Mickelson Trail #2. I love to ride on trails with this surface. My 32 mm tires work fine.

Sylvan Lake at the base of the Black Hills. The highest point is Black Elk Peak.

Needles Eyes Tunnel: This is one of the six narrow (8' x 13') roadway tunnels in Custer State Park. A great view, but a harrowing ride.

Still in the Custer State Park. The Cathedral Spires. These are eroded granite.

If you are in the vacinity, check out Sturgis. Check on the bike rally dates for accommodations

Hey! There is Mount Rushmore with Washington, Jefferson, T. Roosevelt and Lincoln. They were chosen to represent the birth, growth, development and preservation of the country.

The Black Hills has a lot to explore here.

Keystone, SD. My bike does not quite fit the profile. This town started in 1883 as a mining town for the Keystone mine.

The numbered ovals indicate my daily progress. I seem to be about halfway through this part 2 of the tour.
