27 July 2011 Was on the road at 7AM headed for the Black Hills of South Dakota to check out the sights and meet up with old friend Bill Davenport. Bill and his traveling companion “Chuck Wagon” Bobby are finishing up a three week motorbike tour of the northwestern States. The logistics didn't work out for us to meet up during the day so I did the usual tourist spots of the Crazy Horse Memorial, which was amazing and well presented in the visitor center, then around the mountain to Mount Rushmore which is also amazing. And the scenery in between is gorgeous.
Finally rode down to Hot Springs at the end of the day to meet up with Bill and Bobby. On the way I got hammered by a severe thunderstorm with lots of lightning and blow me down wind. I was in open plains with no shelter available so kept on going. It was a peak experience and in the end I arrived safe and Bill bought me a well deserved beer. We got a three bed motel room and had a good time catching up and telling tall tales and sampling the single malts.
Americana for the day: slugging down a Moose Drool beer
