Anyone here ever ride to Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
I'm planning out my itinerary for a ride to Sturgis this year and it'll be my first time going to this event, so wanted to get some info from folks whom have been there.. such as recommendations on which camp grounds, etc to make my reservations at, cool places to stop at/visit along the way, as well as once in SD. I definitely have MT Rushmore, Yellowstone and Crazy Horse Memorial on my list.. I'm thinking of arriving before the rally start date so I can tour around the area and visit the sites before they're crowded so I can get better photos, etc.
I'll be passing through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, & Minnesota.
I plan on camping instead of hotels.. My first overnight stop will be in PA so I can make a detour and visit Gettysburg and a few other places.. My next overnight stop will be in OH so I can pay Jon Clark a visit.
The ride is only 30 hours, but I plan on a leisurely cruise checking shit out along the way. At the moment, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to take 90W most of the way.. alot of highway mileage is boring to me so I gotta map out my entire route and plan before making my reservations, etc, so your advice, tips and recommendations are appreciated.
I know the event isn't until August, but I want to come up with a basic idea of my stops, etc well in advance so I can start making reservations.
