Needles Highway

Driving through rock tunnels and winding past rock spires, the Needles Highway was labeled impossible when it was constructed in 1919. That didn't deter Governor Norbeck, who supplied the more than 150,000 pounds of dynamit and the determination to construct the roadway.

The Needles Highway curves and winds through 14 miles of magnificent rock formations called 'needles.' One of the most prominent rock formations on the Highway is the Needles Eye, reaching 30 to 40 feet in the air with a 3 foot wide slit.

Car Registration - 4pm-8pm

Your first stop in Deadwood should be the Deadwood Gulch Resort Convention Center, where you will register your car and receive detailed information on the weekend’s activities, as well as your goody bag and weekend parking permit. This will be your first opportunity to purchase additional Kool Deadwood Nites merchandise.

My son will be about a week old by then, I see no reason to not strap him in the Fusion and take a road trip to SoDak then maybe I can go by Brookeville and on my way back stop by Detroit and play beer pong with Josh while getting shot at.
