Sure like your video of the Black Hills and seeing all those now familiar places we’d rode through just a few short months ago. Makes me want to load up the toy hauler and go back. No better way to see the Black Hills than on a bike. It’s a pilgrimage every rider should take. Thanks for doing an amazing job showing everyone what that area is really like.

[@TollesonLife]

Hey Tom, thanks man, glad you have a good trip out there too. I'm looking forward to next year! We really enjoyed the area.

Good to see all of these places again that I visited. Those bison are not to be messed with. Needles Highway was one of the best roads I've been on and Rushmore was quite the park. Keep the videos coming!

Great video, again, so informational. You mentioned that you would be going back next year, we stayed in Custer, closer to all the great scenic byways, rides and monuments. This way we only had to drive the longest ride to Sturgis. Great meeting you. Stay well and ride safely.

Well I love your videos, this is going to be my first time going to Sturgis Rally. Been scrambling to try and find a camper but I will probably wind up throwing up a tent which is okay. I'm ready to take some time off from work and go up and ride. Thanks for the informative videos really like watching them! Safe riding folks!

Thanks Kay! We really enjoyed it, Im sure you would too.

[@Frostytravels]

Awesome job guys. Love the Buffalo, the size is so impressive. Hoping to see the Crazy Horse monument done in my lifetime. I remember going my first time and saw all the sheep and donkeys and burros. Everyone should ride Iron Mountain road, nothing like it. The view of Mt Rushmore is stunning. Just reading what was quotes from the presidents below the viewing platform shows you a time in America when pride in being a citizen was at its best.

[@TollesonLife]

Hey Frosty! Thanks man, I agree, Iron Mt Rd was awesome, just had a great time each and everyday while out there. All the best to ya!

[@Frostytravels]

I always enjoy your videos. They are professional edited, entertaining & informative. Keep up the great work! My first visit to the Crazy Horse Monument was in 1972. Having visited it several times during the Sturgis Rally in the last 15 years, I don't think it's changed a bit. I always wonder what they're doing with all the money they collect? I doubt I'll ever see it's completion in my lifetime.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Corey! We appreciate you kind words my friend. Don't think we will be here when they finish Crazy Horse. They have been at for over 70 years not and have much more to go......

Very Beautiful countryside , but those bison are kind of scary the handle bars on them just ain’t big enough to hold on to. Can you Believe it’s snowing up there in South Dakota 4 weeks after you were there?? Unbelievable. Stay safe 😎👍

[@ricbailey170]

Well crazy horse has been at that stage since my 1st visit in 1994. They do very little development anymore. More of a native Indian tourist trap for those curious. FYI the 1st & 3rd tunnels are setup to frame Mount Rushmore as you drive north.

[@TollesonLife]

Slow go for sure Ric.

[@qthebikeahaulic]

I stayed at Custer Campground in a cabin for $50 a night, Social distanced my #*s off this year. Never went to any concerts { usually stay at the Chip} and didn't go downtown either. Went to all the places off the beaten path like the actual center of the nation marker 8 miles up a dirt road in a cow pasture outside of Belle Fourche. I also took some pics and video of the buffalo herd 20 minutes prior to the lady getting depansed by a buffalo on Iron Mt road. Spokane creek campground $6 sausage dogs and coffee most mornings for breakfast.
