The driving season is winding down here so my wife and I made a loop to the Black Hills. Spearfish and Sturgis Canyons plus a lap past Hulett and the Devils Tower. Stayed at the Deadwood Lodge which was real nice. There was 2 other C8s parked nearby, Wisconsin tags.

Great pic of your car and yes, a cool area for a cruise in the car.
