Day 3

Day 3 was my shortest day in the saddle to date. I only traveled 389 miles that day...most of it off the highway to Devils Tower it seemed. I didn't gas up before I left the freeway and sure as hell, about the time I got to it, 30 miles off the freeway, my gas gauge dropped enough to make the gas light come on. Knowing I had 30 miles to go on 25 miles of gas I went further away from the freeway and finally found a station that leaves it's pumps on for idiots like me (as long as the idiot has a credit card).

I took some pictures of my favorite thing about Wyoming as I pressed on to South Dakota. I went on passed Deadwood and Sturgis into Rapid City to find a Best Buy and get my computer fixed. The Geek Squad got it going again and I was able to send a Face Book message before it quit.

I rode through Sturgis and then went to Deadwood. I was expecting Deadwood to be like Bodie California, Tombstone or Virginia City, but it wasn't. Bodie, Tombstone and Virginia City have the original buildings and and a sort of ghost town atmosphere. Deadwood looked like new buildings and new streets and seems more like Reno.

Here are some pictures of my day.
