Rally Deadwood Gazing
Best
Spot in Deadwood during the Sturgis Rally
The Best? Well, the spot you'll have a hard time getting
in at the Sturgis Rally - the upper balcony at the
Franklin Hotel.
The reason is because it's cool. Cool temperature-wise,
and otherwise.
You'll be reclining in the comfortable chair with
an elbow on the white balcony railing surrounding
this 1800s portico. A cold brew in on hand. Perhaps
one of Bill Clinton's cigars in the other.
Sturgis
Rally In' Spot
And
from on this perch you can survey the domain. Deadwood
at the height of the Sturgis Rally. Where the mellow
aroma of black leather wafts up off the streets below.
You could gaze down at the mob, but of course you
won't. Because one of the main reasons for being on
the top of the heap is so people down below can gaze
at you. To be seen, is what this is about.
Underlings
at the Sturgis Rally
Now,
if you can't make it to the balcony, my suggestion
is to walk down and join the underlife in the basement
of the hotel. Down there is more Sturgis-like, anyway.
And down there you can get the one thing that sustains
life - Guiness Stout on tap at Dirty Nelly's.
It's black as old oil out of the crank case. And tastes,
well, not a great deal different than that. But in
a pinch, it has enough body to it to take the place
of a meal. Perhaps you'll want to drink a few meals
at the bar. It is the Sturgis Rally, after-all. They
have live music here, too.
