This year we kicked off our Sturgis trip in a completely different way than ever before!
The party starts at Sturgis.
Good morning stubborn nation. Today is going to be an interesting video. We are headed to Sturgis,
South Dakota, but we're doing it a little bit different. We've done Sturgis just about
every way you can imagine and this time we're doing it different. Got the beautiful,
lovely Miss Ashley with me. Back here I got my co-pilot scooter. What are you looking at out
there? Oh he's sniffing the woods. We're in the Jeep. We are off-road. We're looking for a place
to camp off the grid. No power, no water. We're in the truck not only because it's more comfortable
for scooter, but what do we got behind us baby? We have our dirt bikes. Yay! We're gonna do some
off-roading. So Sturgis is going to be several parts for us. The first couple days we're gonna
do some off-roading and see Sturgis off the pavement, which is something a lot of people
don't get to see that come here every year. And we've got a little camper back there that I got
from my buddy Freddy Brewer. I bought it from him. I'm taking my lovely lady and scooter back
into the woods in South Dakota for a little adventure. Then on to the buffalo trip. See here
there's this little stream running along the road. So we're kind of tracking that back here.
Looking for the spot, but man is it beautiful. Near water too. We want it to be near water,
a creek, a stream, something. This is the goal.
Dalton campground. It's a desolate campground. It don't have any electricity or water, but it's
right on a lake. Look at that. We are in a camping spot and unloading the bikes. This is how the
bikes fit in here. Two dirt bikes. One Harley or Indian, but two little dirt bikes can fit in here
no problem. And there's the lake. We're gonna find a spot like completely dispersed, like away from
everybody. But being on that lake, it's worth having a couple other campsites around in my
opinion. So we're gonna, we're gonna stay here. Still no power, no water, but we've brought all
of our stuff. The Stubborn American event happening right here at the Cay River Campground the first
weekend of October every year. The wildest event I will attend all year and y'all should attend
with me. Get more details at AdamSandoval.com. Okay, we got camp kind of set up here baby,
don't we? I think it's pretty good. I'm gonna give you all a quick tour. We got this like
little gazebo here behind us. We're gonna check out a little bit later. Got some shade trees for
later. Little fire pit. Look at the other chair set up. Got our rug. Anyhow, this is our camper
set up. This is the one that I got for my boy Freddy. Our little kitchen set up. There's a
sink under there. Got some potted water there. That's a three burner oven and the grill.
Little awning. What I love. Oh, we got Scooter in here. What's up, Rue? What I love is this
mesh net back because Scooter can still get in here. He's got a good view. He can see out,
but we don't have to worry about him. Yeah, that's the best part of it.
And we ain't got no bugs in here. Little TV, little bed, sink, stove, microwave.
This is another bunk. Never needed it. Little bathroom, toilet, shower, little mini fridge,
bench. Really everything you need. Most important is you got a place to sleep,
bathe, cook, and haul motorcycles. Got the bikes out. If y'all are new to our channel,
maybe you don't know what we're riding today. Ashley, what do you got?
It is a good little bike. It's a great little trail crawler.
And I got the 2021 KTM 500. Pulled that trailer, which we figure weighs about 5,000 mark on that
trailer. And then I had probably another thousand pounds inside the Jeep. We are ready for a couple
days of relaxing in the woods. We're going to bring you all along. And then the madness,
the madness. The party starts at Sturgis. That is right. Sturgis coming at you next, but first
we center, baby. Fuel here in Nemo. Look at the scenery. Beautiful. A couple of gorgeous Harley
Davidsons. More of them going down the street. Bike week is coming. And of course, check this
out, y'all. Look it. Of course, Law Tigers is there because we're in the middle of nowhere,
but there's motorcycles here. So of course there's Law Tigers. We are up here. Y'all,
this is beautiful up here. My God, who'd have known the Black Hills were like this.
Look at that. Talk about being up here. You doing okay over there, baby? You look good.
You got to keep an eye out for mountain lions though. Is that what it is? That gas station
This is neat to ride your bike through this.
Oh, wow. Unbelievable. We are going to hang out here for a little bit. Look at that.
That's deep. You can't tell that's a long ways down. There you go. There you go. You got it.
You saved it. Good work. There you go. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right.
That's okay. You made it. Come on the wrong direction now. Yeah, it's okay. That's a big
climb. We're back at camp and look, we're about to go for a swim. Oh, deer. You see that? So we've
determined this spot is a little dark. The water's a little dark and it looks kind of mucky down
there too. See if that's mucky. Stick your foot in there, baby. Stick your foot in there. See if
it's mucky. You can see little footprints down in there. You can see them. I'm teasing you. I
was going to do it. I saw that baby. Oh, it is cold. That is gorgeous. Fishing right back there.
Morning swim. We're not going to go fishing. Official decision. Time to cook dinner.
What'd you bring? Your favorite. Steak.
My steak always goes in after Ashley's. I like mine charred and rare.
Yep, that's the way steak should look. Baby, you're so fancy. I love you. Look at that.
So we're eating at our living room table. You can hear it, but we ain't getting wet yet.
This is where I'm gonna tell y'all, see you later. I'm gonna enjoy dinner with my girl.
First day in Sturgis, baby. Such a different experience. It has been different. I like to
try new things. I like to mix it up. I hope you enjoyed mixing it up with us and remember,
whatever it is that you dream of, whatever it is you're thinking of,
you fight, man. You push, you stay stubborn, and you dream. Until you're a dream. I don't know,
that might have been a little much. Is that creepy? Because I said, with a knife? Yeah,
