We got off on some forestry service road and it turned out to be a 20 mile adventure. Glad for 4 wheel drive because it got pretty interesting a couple times. Don't know if you can see the display on the nav but it shows main street. Oh it didn't lie. It was just 20 miles before it turned asphalt again

The last 5 miles of dirt before we found the town of Piedmont. And yes it was Main Street

   Nice pic  :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

Know what you mean,...the wife and I take our trips in off season and when kids are still in school  much more peaceful. 

Good thing you're not on the bike rolling into Deadwood

I have to agree with the peaceful part and we typically only try to pick a general destination with no real agenda for when we get there.

Yeah Deadwood would have been just a little interesting on the scooter

We will have a little longer ride tho.   Again thanks.

Greg we are about 1000 miles from there. All said and done we were almost 2700 miles by the time we got home.

Good luck and hope you make it.

I will say shop around a little because Deadwood is truly dead and the casinos have some great deals on rooms. We were in a king bed suite for $53 a night at the Tin Lizzie Hampton

This is what was so nice about this area in winter. We were able to park, walk through the tunnel and take pictures without a single car being seen

As many times as I've been out there, I've never been there in the off season and being able to walk through those tunnels with NO traffic....wow.  We've talked about going back during Winter and staying at the Hisega lodge (it's way up in the hills) to enjoy the snow but haven't done it....yet... :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks for sharing the trip with us.

Haird, this was our first off season trip to that area and honestly don't know if we will ever go back unless it's off season. So much more enjoyable
