Greetings from Wyoming, land of equality, who knew!? Last I wrote to you we were at the Super 8 in Deadwood, SD. We had just finished riding the 109-mile George Mickelson Trail. In the morning we discovered the motel had a bike washing area set up in the parking lot. It was set up for all the motorcycles that would be traveling to the area for the big annual Sturgeous, SD Bike Week. We were told that about 500,000 motorcyclists will converge on Sturgeous the weekend after we depart the area. We took advantage of the bike wash station, before putting the bikes on the rack on the back of the truck. Then we walked into the old downtown Deadwood. We saw a bronze statue of Calamity Jane on a park bench holding a bottle of booze high. Next to her was a small fountain for kids to cool off next to a model of a gold mining sluice. We didn't get far in our walk when we came across a trolley boarding. We bought tickets and got on board. The driver and guide was over-the-top dramatic.
