The last day of riding in the Black Hills

Today was our last day of riding here. Tomorrow Kim flies back to Phoenix and Frank, Bruce and I start the trek home. The day started out bright and sunny although we ended up riding in and out of rain during the day. Breakfast was had in the small community of Nemo where the volunteer fire department put on a breakfast fund raiser. These breakfasts are good, inexpensive and the money goes to good causes.

Bruce decided to go off on his own and crossed into Montana so he could cross that state off his list. Frank, Kim and I rode to Hot Springs, SD today which is a place we hadn't been to on previous trips. It was a nice leisurely ride down and back again riding in and out of rain. It's mostly sunny right now back in camp where we are cleaning up and getting ready for a bus ride into Sturgis for one last night of revelry. We will be breaking camp early tomorrow and at the end of the day us guys will be well into Colorado.

Beautiful morning

Breakfast with a hundred new friends.

Devils Tower

Wednesday we went to Hulett, WY where they block off the center of town and have a one day rally that pulls thousands from Sturgis. Devils Tower National Mounument is only a few miles away so we took in that sight as well. We finished off the day at downtown Sturgis people and motorcycle watching.

Where the buffalo roam.....

Tuesday we went to Custer State park and a large herd of buffalo, pronghorn antelope and deer. Of course the roads were nice to ride and the scenery to look at. It rained off and on all day and that evening it rained about 2" but we were visiting friends in Blackhawk while that was going on. It stopped raining for our return ride to the campground.

Foggy morning
