A trip to the top of Inyan Kara
Inyan Kara is a Black Hills mountain that few people have seen up close. The main reason is that the mountain in the northwest corner of the Black Hills is surrounded by private land. You need to get landowner permission to climb it.
However, it is a worthwhile hike.
Give McCain a breakI think we should give John McCain a break. During his appearance this week at the Buffalo Chip Campground east of Sturgis, he jokingly told the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally crowd that that his wife, Cindy McCain, should compete in the Miss Buffalo Chip Pageant. "I told her that, with a little luck, she could be the first woman ever to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip," he said. The crowd laughed. It was funny. That was about it.
The rumble of the Sturgis Rally Deadwood, like much of the Black Hills, is hopping this week. There are bikers everywhere, it seems. At 5 p.m. on Monday, a line of stopped or slow-moving motorcycles stretched from downtown Deadwood all the way to the U.S. Highway 385 turnoff south of town. And traffic on 385 was busy all the way to the Sugar Shack.
Gov. Rounds welcomes KISS
You know all that talk about politics and strange bedfellows. Yesterday during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, there were two very good examples. First, Sen. John McCain, the Republican candidate for president, made an onstage appearance last night at the Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground, famed Sturgis Rally party venue. Actually, it wasn't so strange. McCain was there to receive a veteran's salute, and to make a brief stump speech. The crowd at the Chip is big, diverse, patriotic and loaded with fellow veterans. Then you have Gov. Mike Rounds, an insurance salesman by trade, sharing the stage with members of KISS.
KISS Day in South Dakota
As we told you before, KISS is playing the Sturgis Rally this year. The venerable rock n' roll band, in its 35th year, will take the Rock 'n the Rally stage at the Glencoe Campground tonight. But there's a new twist: Gov. Mike Rounds, who you wouldn't take to be a KISS fan, has proclaimed today, Aug. 4, as KISS Rock and Roll day in South Dakota. Sturgis Mayor Maury LaRue will make the presentation backstage prior to tonight's concert.
