    Was just there last week. Flannigans Cabin has deteriorated quite a bit in just 3 years. The small building on the corner of the cabin has collapsed. And that stack of logs net to it has fallen.

    I took that train ride when I was down there last July. A word of advice, you might want to bring a little cushion along for your tusshy. Those seats can get a little hard after a while. But it's nice leisurely trip so it's a good way to give your feet a little bit of a rest.

    Thank you for this excellent series of Videos, I hope you keep em coming. I wish I had your talent. Last fall, 2022, I purchased a new Indian Scout from Sturgis Indian. My son and I rode it about a hundred miles around the Black Hills. Our fist leg was Spearfish Canyon, it was magnificent. This summer I plan to ride SD Hiway 44 from about Parkston to, I believe it ends at Silver City. One of my favorite places on this Earth is the Badlands of South Dakota. I just don't know how to do good vids, but maybe you can do one on the Badlands sometime? Thanks for the education and entertainment.

    • @605rides3
      @605rides3 Рік тому

      Thank you for the kind review. Hwy 44 ends where it meets Hwy 385. As far as the badlands, unfortunately flying a drone is illegal in the National Parks so it would have to be only on the bikes. We are thinking about it.

    Went to college as Black Hills State, didn’t have a car, just my 200cc Suzuki X5 Invader. We were partying in Deadwood (1966, before legal gambling) and rode back to Spearfish in a snow storm. Both of my parents attended the college in the 1930s.

    That arched bridge at the beginning? I was there when those huge laminated wooden arches were being brought in. They were being hauled one at a time, inverted, when one tipped over. Truck was rounding a curve and the thing tipped over. Didn’t see it fall, but was there as the driver and a few others were running around stopping traffic. I think it was the late 60s or early 70s..

    I was up that way with my daughter last Easter weekend visiting another daughter and my grandchildren. They live next to the Blackhills in Newcastle Wyoming. Of course the weather was mixed from rain, snow, and sun, but it was still awesome to have visited many places up there. I'll have to go back up there on a bike sometime. BTW, nice Victory! It was nice to see some familiar places up there. Thanks for the ride!

    I love videos like this especially when they go through towns. I'm always freezing the video to have a better look at what's going on, reading signs and store fronts. I learn new things. Like in this video you passed a sign that said largest collection of Borglum art in the world. I didn't know what Borglum art was, then I learned it was actually the name of the guy who craved Mt. Rushmore. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. We went to Mt Rushmore about 2 years ago. It was our 2nd visit, the first being back in 1979. It sure changed dramatically in that time. So much nicer today.

    Great videos of these roads and tunnels in the Black Hills. It is absolutely perfect riding out there. Motorcycles are perfect because you can smell the ponderosa pines in the air, see the water and rock formations perfectly and truly experience the greatness of the hills because the bike is out in the open air. I know. Sounds too much like a cliche but watching cars travel around out there with closed windows and a/c running isn’t the best experience in my humble opinion. Going out there again sometime soon. Happy riding guys!
