It wasnt a crowded mess where we stayed,just a little crowded,but thats what I exspected,if I didnt want to see people and bikes and do some partying I would have stayed home.We would get up in the morning and go riding until mid to late afternoon come back to Deadwood and every one would do there own thing.I usally ended up at #10, (I am an old fart that still likes to laugh and have a good time)and some of our group would stay at the house and relax.It was perfect for every one.

Ok, I know room availability will slim if not booked now in Sturgis but I want to know how room availability is on the road getting there. Should I plan my trip by booking rooms along my route getting out there from Chicago or will this be a problem at the nicer motels/hotels along the route? I'm sure the interstates/highways will be full of bikes that weekend of the rally and just don't want to be caught short pulling into some motel in the evening to find NO VACANCY.

I rarely make hotel reservation along the way because I never know exactly what route I will be taking. I just kinda wander, sometimes going a few hundred miles out of my way to avoid rain. Ocassionally, I have some trouble finding a room, but have always managed to find one. At around noon, when I have a pretty good idea where I will be wanting to stop for the night, I use the cell phone to call the Holiday Inn 800 number and let them find a hotel with a vacancy.

I've been to Sturgis several times. I've stayed at Glenco, Buffalo Chip, last few times at cabins that were close by.
If you can get 3 or 4 people to split the cost of a cabin for a week, you can get down close to the cost of camping out, roughing it and showering with 10,000 of your fellow campers. ( not me , ever again )
I'll take the cabin every time ! Move quickly the good ones get snapped up fast.
