We head home today. If you look at the 1st picture you will see that the morning did not dawn with sunshine. Cloudy, and pretty sure it is going to rain on us. Since the weather looks bad we decide to get going right away and find breakfast on the way. From Mobridge we head east on 12 to Hwy 83. Turn north on 83 to take us into ND. It's not raining yet, but doesn't look good. We come into Herrod SD and I now have to drive in the worst road contruction I can imagine. It was slimy, mud [View Full Entry]

Today is our last morning here. I didn't sleep much at all. Did I tell anyone I don't like camping? We go into have breakfast. They have eggs made to order, pancakes, fruit, coffee. Not too bad. We pack up our bikes and it is time to leave. I want to stop to get a pair of boots I was trying on before we leave. Now I have to ride a little more in Sturgis. We head downtown get the boots and then on our way. We decide the route home will be through Newell, up to Reva, go into ND [View Full Entry]

I'm so sad we have to leave the Bed and Breakfast this morning. It was foggy this morning when we got up, but I'm sure it will clear off before too long. We head down for breakfast. Again, fantastic. Today we had: egg bake, rhubarb bread, coffee cake, fresh fruit, coffee, juice. Helen is so nice and you feel so welcome. The couple from WA will be leaving today. The couple from WY will be meeting up with some more friends and spend a little more time. On our agenda today is Sturgis. By the time we head out the fog [View Full Entry]

Check out the Sunrise outside our cabin. We headed to the main house about 7:45. Breakfast was: breakfast burittos, fresh fruit, coffee, juice. Awsome. What will it be tomorrow? The other two couples were really nice. One couple was from Puget Sound WA and the other from WY. We decide to get an early start for Hulett as it is usually pretty busy. There are [View Full Entry]

My gosh there are alot of bikes. The day is sunny, beautiful weather. We take Hwy 24 west to Aladdin, turn on Hwy 111 south to the frontage road that heads into Sundance. We have reservations at the Sundance Mountain Hideaway Bed and Breakfast. I've never stayed at a bed and breakfast, I'm so excited. Opps, I didnt bring the [View Full Entry]

We are off on another day's adventure. Connie and I take our time getting up and ready. After all we are on vacation. The day looks a little gloomy, but the temp is OK. We gas up in Linton and head for Hwy1804 taking us into Mobridge SD. We do get sprinkled on a little but not enough for rain gear. As we come into Mobridge it is lunch time and today we are going to stop to eat. We head to the Grand Oasis Restraunt, we've eaten there before and we know it is good. After eating we decide to [View Full Entry]

Today it is the girls turn to leave. Connie gets to my house about 10AM and we are on our way. The day is sunny and dry. The temp is a little cool, but that is OK. Our route of course begins on County Rd 17 South to Hwy 46, and we are on our way west. Enderlin, hmm, sounds like a good place to stop. We choose The Friendly Bar. Of course, since it is before noon we are the only ones in the bar. The bartender/owner is very friendly and we visit for awhile. Back on the bikes and [View Full Entry]

So today begins with Del leaving at 6:45am to meet up with Steve and Mark in Casselton for breakfast. The morning is kind of cloudy and looks like it could be rainy.

Day 4 - Well, today we need to head back home. Our choices to cross the Missouri River are either Bismarck ND or Mobridge SD. We decide to go through Mobridge. That means I have about 130 miles to prepare myself for crossing the bridge. In case you don't know, I am terribly afraid of bridges. But I'm sure I will make it. As I see the bridge come in to view I start taking deep breaths and telling myself I can do this. If not me, there is no one else to get my bike over to the east side. [View Full Entry]
