I didn't know they began (and stopped) work on a Hall Of Records that was to be behind the faces, in the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flason Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Great pics. The wife and I got married at Mt. Rushmore a year and a half ago at the Sturgis Ralley. That mountain is quite spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivernuggets Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 A late congratulations to you and your wife, Flason! Wonderful scenery for a wedding. First motorcycle trip with my Dad and brother was to Mt Rushmore, Black Hills, and Devil's Tower in '97. It was a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First motorcycle trip with my Dad and brother was to Mt Rushmore, Black Hills, and Devil's Tower in '97. It was a great time! Thanks so much for the congrats. We loved it up there. Beautiful scenery, super friendly people. But Rushmore was worth the whole trip and those pics really brought me back there. We are going back in 2015 for the Sturgis 75th anniversary and it is one of our stops along with Custer State Park, Devils Tower, Needles HiWay, and the Badlands.

Rivernuggets Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Oh yeah, Needles Hwy! Cool, martian-like stretch of scenery. We stayed at Custer State Park on the '97 cycle trip. I remember a small ~2 mile driving loop where we saw bison, some of them a little too close for me when on a motorcycle. Those dudes are huge. The ranger at Custer advised us to be 'at the ready' in case of a bison charging one of our bikes. I guess a cycles size and rumble could instill a fight response. Glad to say that never happened!

That's the truth. The Bison are an arms reach away. I was suprised at how many bikers got off their bikes and walked close to them to take a picture. I guess if they're not bright enough to figure out the zoom lens on the camera????? But what a nice ride. I had a Street Glide at the time, much to my wife's dismay. Have an Ultra Classic now so the wife will be much happier on the next trip there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
