Sturgis 2024 Day 7 was incredible! We left Rapid City and headed down 44 to Scenic, South Dakota. Scenic is a ghost town with a post office. If you drive down Main Street, you can pull over and check out all the old buildings and jail. I made a quick stop in the tiny post office so I could mail out some postcards.
According to my Mom, the town was active not very long ago, and the saloon was open. Apparently, in 2011, the town was sold to the Philippines-based Iglesia ni Cristo church, and buildings were left to rot.
After leaving Scenic, we headed to Interior to fill up our tanks (and grab some snacks, which I don’t recommend as the prices inside the Cedar Pass Lodge inside the park are more reasonable).
Then began the ride. We stopped at one particular pull-off so we could recreate our picture from 2022. We will make this a tradition anytime we visit Badlands National Park.
