Dagene her i Fort Yates, i Standing Tall Sioux Reservation er ligesom resten af dagene på vores tur gået hurtigt. Vi føler, at vi på disse 10 dage her har oplevet meget – ikke nødvendigvis blot set mange forskellige ting, men også set meget af det store i det små. Paradox er fortsat det bedste ord jeg finder til at beskrive troen, vores oplevelser, og livet generelt. Det store og smukke i livet, i vores tro, i vores liv sammen med hinanden som mennesker, i at hjælpe hinanden, i at være nærværende, og det smukke ved hver kultur og tradition. Det har også været smertefuldt, at se det engang stolte Siouxfolk, som har fået taget så meget fra dem – traditioner, skikke, sprog, tro, identitet, og mange lever nu uden megen ære i deres daglige tilværelse. ... read more

Evangel "Adventure" Ride To Duluth and the North Shore Eighteen motorcycle riders representing 12 bikes ranging from HD, BMW's, Honda GoldWings and Shadows to Kawasakis participated in the 2nd Annual EAG Motorcycle Adventure. Our route took us from Bismarck to Duluth's North Shore, International Falls, Warroad and finally home to Bismarck. Four days and over 1,200 miles.

The change in weather this Memorial Day has caused us to alter our plans a little. Rather than leaving Monday morning, we are going to drive to Fergus Falls, MN Sunday afternoon to beat a rain system that is coming our way later Sunday and Monday. On Monday, we will head toward Mankato for a desination that is near and dear to Grace's heart. She will write about it more later. Our sweet next-door neighbor dropped by with a very nice card which contained a $100 bill! What a great send-off!... read more

It's two months until Grace and I get on the Kawasaki 1600 Nomad and head East on I-94 to Chicago where we will get on Route 66. We leave on Memorial Day and we hope for warmer weather than last Memorial Day when it was 36 degrees! Steph will be staying with Grandma Katie and Grandpa Les in Minot or here at home with her sister Tori. This is a trip we've planned for several months and we really have the itch to do it. Our plan is to have as little plan as possible -- to ride a few hours and find a motel or see some sights. We've never traveled the southwest, especially on motorcycle so this will be a real adventure. The total trip will be slightly over 5,000 miles and will go ... read more
