VentureFar Posted July 27, 2013 Share #26 Posted July 27, 2013 Tippy n I are leaving Sacremento today and heading up to Lassen national park, than over to Redwoods and from there up to Crater Lake. gonna hit Yellowstone and do a little cow towning in western montana and that should put us inline for the sturgis ralley on the way back to michigan. I just finished fixing the tail light on the 83 at an all night gas station so probably a late morning depart. I have been going to the rally since 1973, have pretty much wore out the party seen BUT go for the late night chats with other builders down on mainstreet - usually thats where you will find us. Be great to meet up with some of you and say howdy!! I always tent camp about a mile east of the buffalo chip on the praire - quite, cool and peaceful... Puc Cowpuc- please come to the venture breakfast at the Sturgis high school just east of town at. 7:30am Wednesday of the rally. You obviously VentureFar...

Phoneman1981 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted August 1, 2013 Have fun. We hope to head up on Friday the 9th. Probably going to miss everyone. Most will be headed home as we are arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Setter Posted August 1, 2013 Share #34 Posted August 1, 2013 Just a heads up. The pancake breakfast you are talking about was put on by the MCJROTC. There is no longer a MCJROTC program at Sturgis Brown High Scchool. I would imagine another group has has stepped up to host but just in case you may want a plan B. If anyone needs a garage/tools while at Sturgis PM me. I live just south of Rapid City on Sheridan Lake Road. Shiney Side UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoneman1981 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share #35 Posted August 1, 2013 Hello Allen: Welcome to the site. Thanks for the info. and offer for assistance. Very nice of you to offer. I always thought the FFA kids put on the breakfast at the High School? Great place to meet. Lots of parking. Good food. Lots of seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard B Posted August 1, 2013 Share #36 Posted August 1, 2013 HowardB What is the name of the new museum off the slow twisty road closest to the Tetons. Has a horseshoe parking lot. One way in and one way out? Thanks That would be the LSR museum. (laurance straehan rockefeller ) He is the one that donated the land and building. 1100 acres and Phelps lake. The museum is free, but parking is limited. He removed all personal buildings and improvements, built the museum then donated everything to the National Park Service. Hope you enjoy it.

Gem_Setter Posted August 1, 2013 Share #37 Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks for the welcome. Lots of good people and info on here. Not sure when the MCJROTC lost its funding/support so the FFA kids may be the ones who stepped up. Lots of parking for sure I graduated from that high school. It has been a few years but I was a Scooper. I would meet too but moving today through Tues. back to work Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tx2sturgis Posted August 1, 2013 Share #39 Posted August 1, 2013 I sent an email to Pam Gies at Sturgis Brown High School and she replied saying shes looking forward to seeing the group again. She asked that someone from the group check-in at the office so she will know you are there, and she will come visit for a bit. I know that some of you are riding as I write this and may not see it, so if anyone has the ability to text one of the attending members and can pass this along, please do so. Thanks.

XV1100SE Posted August 2, 2013 Share #41 Posted August 2, 2013 We are in Winterset Iowa tonight. Going to go thru Nebraska next... Sturgis is on route but not our target. We didn't reserve a camp site (tenting) but want to see all the things we can in the area like Mt. Rushmore, Deadwood, Badlands/Black Hills, Wounded Knee Creek, Custer State Park. From the looks of it we'll be in the Sturgis area around Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VentureFar Posted August 2, 2013 Share #42 Posted August 2, 2013 Xv1100sv Don't miss crazy horse only one hour from Rushmore. Remember that devils tower ( of close encounters of the 3rd kind fame) is just a little to the west. Safe ride. VentureFar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted August 2, 2013 Share #43 Posted August 2, 2013 We didn't reserve a camp site (tenting). There are lots of campgrounds that take campers on a daily basis, no reservations needed. And all the things you listed to see will take about 3 days or so. Have fun!

Phoneman1981 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share #47 Posted August 4, 2013 Don and Nancy. So glad you are visiting our area. I look forward to meeting you both tomorrow!!!! Hopefully tomorrow will be warmer than it was today. Custer SD got quite a bit of pea and marble size hail early this morning. Required snow plows to remove it from the highways.
