I never thought I’d do that at a KOA Campground
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A chapter of a solo motorcycle journey across the United States, this film gathers moments from an 8,000-mile tour completed in 24 days. Its focus is Wyoming and South Dakota, with stops ranging from Devil’s Tower National Monument to Deadwood and Custer State Park.
About this film
As the Magpie Flies presents this episode as part of Flight of the Magpie, a motorcycle trip across the United States. The film draws on the creator’s favorite moments in Wyoming and South Dakota, combining the wider journey with visits around Rapid City and the Black Hills area. A stay at the Rapid City KOA is part of the episode, and the title hints at an unexpected campground moment. The listed destinations also include a motorcycle and ATV business, a restaurant, and a historic-town attraction, giving the travel segment a mix of riding, stops, and local experiences.
The journey
The places named include Devil’s Tower National Monument in Wyoming and several South Dakota stops: Rosco’s Motorcycles & ATV in Rapid City, the Rapid City KOA, Deadwood, and Custer State Park’s Needles Highway. In Deadwood, the itinerary includes the Gem Steakhouse & Saloon and a reenactment by Deadwood Alive gunslingers. Together, these locations frame a motorcycle-travel episode through two states, with time in town and a visit to a state park alongside the campground stay. The film belongs to a broader 24-day, 8,000-mile tour rather than a standalone destination profile.
