After the bus tour we returned to the bikes and went to see Jewel Cave, a cave that has had only an estimated 2% explored and they have done 140 miles so far. It is one of the largest cave systems in the world, the 2 hour tour was a great break at 9 degrees C, from the 38 degree surface temp, we had to wear sweaters. With bike week approaching, the number of motorcycles on the road has dramatically increased so that all small towns in the Black Hills are gearing up by providing special main street bike parking. The bikes far outnumber the cars. Next week, they are anticipating over 300,000 motorcycles in an area that normally has only a population of less than 100,000 AND the other bikers look REALLLL MEAN....with all their REAL tatoos and no one wears a helmet or much clothing! We feel a bit out of place especially Dave who doesn't even have a harley!!
