It's been my experience that this is the beginning of tourist season, and motel rooms are hard to find, and very expensive,has any arrangements been made for motel reservations? I was in Rapid City this same time last year.

 

[jimvw57]

those details are in the process right now. Stay tuned

 

[ddick]

So excited. We were there a couple of years ago during Wild Bill Days. The town had a free concert downtown and it was Blood, Sweat, and Tears. The town has trollies to transportt you to places. This will be a fun rally!!!

Anybody from the mid west interested in starting a caravan to Deadwood, SD?? If so, should we start a new thread for this?

formerly SMRT LUV ….

 

[jwight]

There's a caravan thread: http://www.smartcarofamerica.com/forums/f313/caravan-posts-106042/

Should be enough cars to get a Midwest caravan going.

I will be leaving from St. Louis and am interested in caravan

Indianapolis - Deadwood caravan

It would be a long two days from Indy to Deadwood, or an easier two and a half days with two overnight stops. Personally I'm planning on taking 2.5 days for the trip.

 

[Sullivanracing06]

Im interested but dam its 1800+ miles each way... I'm gonna search craigslist for other car to buy and will probably trailer my 450 Up there and then go cruise with everyone!!!

Where else is everyone coming from?

Any other Florida smart owners wanna go up? I'll have roo on my trailer on the way up, if I buy something on the way back can't promise a tow back but will carpool with you

 

[Mister_smart_LA]

I'll be driving a well equipped smart 453 from Los Angeles to Deadwood, SD. I'll be there.

 

[jwight]

See you there!

 

[paul jh]

I'm impressed with the distances people are driving. I don't think I could drive LA to BH/SD without a spare tire.

When in Custer, have breakfast or lunch at Baker's Cafe in the center of town. Probably the best breakfast I've ever had.

 

[Smart Bob]

We will be carrying spare tires. In the 451, they easily fit behind the driver's or passenger seat. One of our members who will not be caravanning with us, has a 453 Proxy with the sport package. He was able to secure another rim but cannot obtain a tire that will match the fitment that is on his vehicle. Apparently, the Continental tires are a special size and only utilized by smart cars with the sport package. Finding a good place to store a spare tire may also be more of a challenge in a 453.
