bison1040 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I am definitely wanting to join, but there is a slight chance of another commitment that I just found out about today. Put me at 80%! Thanks! --Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kweber1911 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 that sounds like a pretty good trail to follow along. dinner in deadwood would be a good time for sure. As for lunch, I'm not totally sure what is on that route. ive been down it before, just cant remember a place to eat. I am going to have to snag a few pictures at Sylvan Lake if we go by it for sure. I love that little lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that little lake. Sylvan lake is awesome ! as for lunch; Custer SD is the closest to half way. They have your usual.. pizza hut, subway, dairy queen etc etc I think it would be a good spot to get a little bit to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
