How to retrace the route from Beach to Camp Crook and Belle Fourche

A Dusty Road trip 

Today we’re on a series of connecting gravel roads through the Badlands.  We’re connecting towns such as Golva, Camp Crook and Deadwood.

The trail is known for carrying cattle herds, outlaws, buffalo hunters and gold miners.  But that was 100 years ago.  This summer, we’re exploring segments, and will put them together as one long effort re-tracing a 150 year old cowboy trail.

Minnesela Bridge by South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office Via Flickr: The Minnesela Bridge over Redwater Creek near Belle Fourche was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1993 for its significance to the history of engineering, as part of the Historic Bridges in South Dakota multiple property submission. The Minnesela Bridge was built in 1917 by the Concrete Engineering Company. By the early 1910s, reinforced concrete came into use in South Dakota for the construction of bridges. The earliest concrete bridges in South Dakota were built in the southeastern portion of the state and many it not all of these structures were professionally designed. However, many local contractors successfully competed in this aspect of the bridge building business. One such local contractor was the Concrete Engineering Company which began building concrete bridges in Rapid City in the late 1910s.

John Aaron Scotney House by South Dakota State Historic Preservation Office Via Flickr: The John Aaron Scotney House in Belle Fourche was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 1978 for its architectural significance. The house was built by Scotney from 1903 to 1908 with sandstone. The stone came from a quarry south of Belle Fourche and then was brought into town by wagons. He dressed some of the sandstone which was rather unusual for this area, and it became a kind of trademark for him. Scotney, one of Belle Fourche's early pioneers, occupied the house for a while but most of its existence, it has been rented. A Dr. Townesend Frazer had an office on the second floor where he did minor surgery. A Mrs. Roth ran the place as a boarding house for several years. Photograph from NR nomination, taken May 1976.

South Dakota cops say To Hell with our Constitution and our First Amendment and illegally arrest a man for giving them the finger.

Yeah, maybe the guy giving the finger is an asshole, sure, but it is still protected speech. Cops are the Government and the Government should and cannot be imprisoning us because they don’t like our speech, even giving them the finger.

This is a shameful arrest by Triggered cops. Cops don’t like the Constitution, go move somewhere else.
