Began the day in Spearfish, South Dakota and drove to Hill City, South Dakota. Made a stop at the Pactola Reservoir. Drove through Deadwood, SD.


Rode a portion of the Mickelson Trail (17 of 104 miles) from Hill City, past Mystic to Tunnel C and back – 34-miles.


Had a big thunderstorm while out on the trail. Took shelter along the trail before the rain and marble-sized hail started.

Found a disbursed camping site off Spring Creek Road, near Hill City. While the site is close to the dirt road, it does sit next to the creek which is rather pleasant.
