RPG and WSI present The South Dakota Buffalo Run

[Labraptor]

But I thought you were going to ride a real buffalo on this trip Huck. At least I swear I saw that on the registration page, Lol

 

[Huck]

Yeah labraptor my city born ass is gonna throw on some tight jeans a belt buckle the size of an old hubcap and I'm gonna ride a buffalo for the full 8 seconds.

Im goin to have an xtra 10 gallons of gas as well. Was also going to build in a place to strap down my 3 ton floor jack, but If we have 2 or 3 others bringing floor jacks I wont worry bout bringing it. Was also planning on picking up a portable air compressor as the compressor and tank I have on the truck is only good for the air horn. I will aslo have some basic hand tools. I can bring my makita cordless set with a sawzall in it, if any1 thinks that could possibly be needed? Will have basic Handtools also

in addition to the normal items I bring on a run, I'll have a chainsaw.

Spare gas for the scab guys will be important, there are very few gas stations on this run and we may actually use it.

You guys may want to bring your camp chairs on the run, or plan on sitting on your tail gate for lunch.

We have two spots with full hook-ups, 59 and 60 and I know some people were thinking of bringing extension cords. You were planning on being up there early right? I can add an extra spot with hook-ups if we need. Joe and I plan on taking 59 for our pop-up, so that leaves 60. Big blue is bringing his manly ORV, but I'm not sure if he needs hook-ups with it. If your getting there early, set up at 60.

If anyone else needs hook-ups let me know.

We don't need the power, was just going to bring extension cords and lights if it was going to be there. Already have the lanterns packed.

Was planning on setting up on 75 or 76 if the are our spots. Figured we would take advantage of having the covered table to cook and eat at. Speaking of which I will throw an extra tarp and line in the truck so we can shield one side from the wind or rain if the weather turns crappy.

That jack is a great concept, even modified my toolbox to accept it... But it went to the trash when it failed on its first shift. Luckily had several other raptors on hand, but IMO not worth lugging around. I now carry a HF alum floorjack (fits in my bed mounted fat max toolbox) as my as well as the HiLift.

Well crap, hopefully it will hold out for this trip. There should be enough floor jacks around that maybe someone can grab theirs if this one starts failing. Seemed like a really good concept based off of two simple tools being combined.

Ill be sporting many jacks, can also bring a 8' fold up table for the spreads... which doubles for beerpong entertainment later

Definitley SCAB guys, bring 10 gallons of fuel. Mandatory - We will need it. Most of the small towns we pass through do not have a fuel stations. and the nearest to the campground is 15 minutes or so away in dead wood. I have tried to modify the routes based on fuel, but in the middle of bum F*$&$#% nowhere, theres limited fuel unless you on the main highway.

On google maps there looks to be a Mobile station about 1/2 mile south of the camp ground on the west side of 385. Is that not open?

Edit:
Just called and they are 1/2 mile south of Wild Bill's Campground.
Steel Wheel Campground and Trading Post (Mobile Station)
21399 US 385
Deadwood, SD

Not trying to step on toes, but I had been also looking at where I could fill up on the way back to camp each night.
Only planning on bringing 5 gallons extra, but I drive a screw.
