some more pictures of Sturgis. We left Sturgis and headed to Deadwood to get a gambling fix. Big mistake, at Deadwood they were holding a Classic Car Show and auction. We couldn't even find a place to park unless we wanted to hoof it a half-mile back to the center of town. (At least it seemed like it would be a half-mile to me). We made a trip to the south end of Deadwood and then left the way we drove in. I think it took about 35 minutes to make this little drive with all the car traffic and people crossing the street in traffic. Shouldn't ran over some of them. We then headed for Mt. Rushmore, took some pictures and then waited for the evening program to start at 2000. A Ranger came out at the ampitheater, did his little spiel, we watched the movie and then a lighting ceremony was held. After the lighting all veterans and families were invisted to the stage to take part in a flag lowering ceremony. It was a nice program. Things have really changed here, a parking lot has been built and the Flag Avenue is completely changed since I was here last. Really nice, it now costs $8.00 to park but no fees to visit.
