Sturgis day 2 and its my blog birthday

Four years ago today, I decided to start a blog. I was working that week in Los Angeles and my dad and stepmom were leaving the same week for Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic. They were seeking  information on stem cell therapy.  Dad was not on the transplant list yet.
My blog has changed a lot over the years  and in some ways maybe not enough.  I'm so glad I stuck with it though. I have made so many friends through blogging.  This is my 447th post today.  Thank you to all who read my blog and have been with me over the years and to my newer followers. I appreciate all of you.
My second full day in Sturgis was on Friday.  Our rides consisted of Spearfish canyon, around sylvan lake, Deadwood and Sturgis.  I love Deadwood so much! It's my favorite place to just hang out. Lots of history there and the buildings are so old and quaint. We also rode to the cemetery where Wild Bill and Calamity Jane are buried. The cemetery was beautiful and way up high on a hill. Biker boots are not made for hiking that's for sure!  There was some Lakota Sioux Indian dancers in Deadwood and they were great!  We had dinner at my favorite restaurant that we ate at last year. It's called Deadwood Social club.  Amazing food and if you're ever in the area, I recommend it. 
We had lunch at a bar restaurant called Deadwood Dicks.  We sat on patio and I overheard this man talk about Montana. I struck up conversation with him and he ended up pulling up a chair and joining us. His name was Chet and he spoke really loud! Lol.  He was a cool guy though and knew his history. I'm grateful because he let me know about an album called White Mansions. It's got Waylon Jennings , his wife Jessi Colter, Johnny Cash and many other singers. They're songs about white people living during the confederacy and civil war.   I'm going to try to remember to buy it today from Amazon.  
It was another wonderful beautiful day!! 
Deadwood has casinos and I played forever on Texas Tea!


I'll wrap up my trip tomorrow.  Have a great day y'all!!
