It's a start, just need the when and where.  August 3rd-9th is the Sturgis Rally, so we'll avoid these dates.  Plenty of KOAs in the area unless there's another idea for camping.

I have never been to South Dakota, so anyone who has please give suggestions. I don't know how warm it gets in the area, Possibly a mid July weekend???

How is this for a location? Rapid City KOA.

Great idea George. :good2: I vote for Deadwood. I am a sucker for historical Old West. Go figure, I live in an old Cow Town.

the devils tower koa is pretty nice, altho you're really out in the middle of nowhere with not much as far as dining choices.  it does have a big campground, waaay larger than boone or the dearly-departed tellico plains.

En route to Alaska last summer we stayed at the Mount Rushmore KOA. Once of the nicest KOAs I've been to in a long time. I believe there are a couple of nice restaurants right on the campground (or is it kampground?).

I'd be in as well....................................After taking the family through this area in a minivan a couple summers ago, I thought to myself, "These roads would be awesome on two wheels!"

I will be heading to Arkansas in about a month and a half to check out the accommodations and some ride routes for this years Central Rally. For the 2015 Central Rally, I will differ to anyone that has knowledge of the Black Hills area.

This is over a year away and I am already looking forward to heading the South Dakota.  :yahoo:

Fred,
Did you get the email regarding the STAR Black Hills Adventure Ride? It's June 7-9 2014. It's a guided ride with a mix of pavement, dirt/ gravel roads and some ATV trails. The ride starts from Rockerville SD and they say seat time per day is 6-7hours. I'm going, I'll post a ride report. Not Exactly a pre-ride for an FJ Ralley but I'm sure I'll learn something of that area that will be beneficial to us.
