A brief break from Sturgis
Hot weather no more...into Deadwood
"The Deadwood Coach" 1924 film with Tom Mix
Up into the Mountains
Normally hot Sturgis expected to be mostly cool this year. The first day of the rally in the 80s. Then highs mostly in the 70s. Some rain early on.
The usual migration to Deadwood
Just up the road in the Black Hills, Deadwood and Lead are at high enough elevation for cooler temperatures, even in a hot spell.
- This year bikers will be heading up just for a change of pace. Gambling in Deadwood. Old mining town in Lead.
- And there will be more leather and jackets this year. Cool mountain weather.
The 1924 movie with George Bancroft, Hank Bell, Frank Coffyn, Jane Keckley, Lucien Littlefield, Doris May, and Tom Mix, and of course Tony the Wonder Horse
