2021 motorcycle museum, sturgis, sd
The museum is a must see when visiting Sturgis. Learn a great deal of history of motorcycles.
We met former Wisconsin State Senator Dave Zien. He holds 119 world records, 11,000 miles in 11 days, over 31,000 miles in 31 days, and 113,800 miles in one year.
Even though he lost a leg in a motorcycle accident, he still rides. It was really interested to hear so many of his stories.
2021 katmandu campground, sturgis, SD
There are many different campgrounds around the Sturgis area. Katmandu is one of the more quiet campgrounds. If you want to have a somewhat quieter place to cap.
Campground
There is a food wagon with a limited menu. but the food is quite good. There are outside shelters with picnic tables to enjoy your meal and hang with friends.
Game room
Lasundry
Outside bar
Restrooms
There is a bus available to rides back and forth to downtown Sturgis for those who want to party hard and keep the roads safe.
We definitely recommend this campground which is only available during Sturgis Bike Week. If you want to book this campground you need to secure your spot way before Bike Week,

veterans memorial
This memorial is located in Wisconsin by a gas station.
A very well done tribute that tells a story of veterans. Many soldiers have given their lives so that we could have the freedoms we enjoy. God Bless them all. Here are some of the photos we took.
I hope you enjoyed this Veterans Tribute page. Whenever I see someone with a veterans cap on, I make sure to go to them and thank them for their service to our country. They deserve our respect.
