We originally thought it'd be sweet to participate in The Black Hills motorcycle event but considering the "average" RV rates are around $150 to $250 per night, we opted out. It's still fun to see the town preparing for it though!
We walked into town and had a few happy hours. Talking to some locals we learned that they "escape" the madness. "If'n ya ain't workin' it ya leaves."
The whole town is geared to "makin' $$$$". Shirt & stickers & jewelry & etc, etc,etc...Not our "cup a tea" at all. Beer by the can, now $2.50---Then $6.
I did some research and if you need an RV Park within 75miles you're gonna pay for it, so tomorrow we'll move to "No Name City RV Park" which is only 2 miles S. of here, stay a week and then head East more than 75 miles.
Been getting some late afternoon rains but plenty of hot weather thruout the day. Most of the parks we've been hitting are Passport America affiliated so our rates have been good. No such thing in the Sturgis area during the Bike Fest. A lot of people here rent their homes out for $1000+ per week. Reminds me of back in Houghton Lake, Mich during their Tip-Up-Town winter festival in January. Gotta make it while ya can!
It really poured rain last night. We were in town and opted to take a cab home rather than get soaked. OH-OH!! Had a leak above Heathers bed. Hmmmm!!..thought we had that problem fixed. So in the morning I was "up on da roof" doin' some exploring and resealing. I used some of our very expensive "Durabound" sealing tape around some questionable spots, Sure hope that works. A "wet Heather is NOT a happy Heather" !! We just opened up the couch for the night to solve the problem. If that's the biggest problem we have we can live with it. (Although a bit soppy!)
We hope everyone has as good a life as we are having!!
REMEBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY !! Charlie & Heather
