We departed from Stockade Lake South Campground at 10:45AM MDT and headed back East through Custer State Park in order to head North to the Spearfish City Campground in Spearfish, SD. We had hoped to take US-385 North through Deadwood but due to construction it’s down to one gravel lane with guide cars, etc. We stopped off at the Spearfish Walmart to stock up on supplies.
On the way through downtown we stopped off at Stadium Sports Grill for a late lunch. Beth had the Beef Tip Quesadillas and a cup of Bacon Cheeseburger Soup which were delicious. I had the Hot Knuckle Sandwich (Tender strips of chicken, ham, and cheese topped with hot wing sauce) which was also delicious. A gentleman sitting next to us at the bar was reading two new comic books and I asked him if he had bought them from the Comic Book Store next door (which we had parallel parked in front of) and he said yes and strongly encouraged us to go in and get a some comics or toys for our grand-kids, so we did. The owner and one of the customers were very helpful recommending some FUNKO Pop! Figurines in the latest comic book or movie characters.
We arrived at the Spearfish City Campground just after 3:00PM MDT. This is a city campground with full hookups. The sites are a little small so you have to be friendly with your neighbors (which we were). Before I could get out of the cab after parking, Beth was already off introducing herself to all the neighbor dogs and their owners. At least three of the campers behind and beside us are all family members gathered for the holiday. They invited us to join them behind our camper (out of the hot sun). They were all great people and we had a good time hanging out with them. I’ll have to take inventory when we leave Friday and make sure Beth hasn’t permanently borrowed “Veris” the 120lb Bernese Mountain Dog Mastiff Mix.
