Day 3 - The first thing on the agenda for today is pictures. Lemmon's claim to fame is the "Petrified Wood Park". We could get single pictures taken and then everyone was to be by the Park for a group picture. Following pictures we parked by the Community Center so people could vote for the best bike. We walked over to the American Legion where the men were serving us Brunch. With full tummies we are now going to ride through town as a parade and then be on our way for the bike run. We head to Bison, Meadow, ShadeHill Resort and then back to Lemmon. The ride was good, the weather nice. The stops were so quick we barely had time to get off the bikes. Once again, we parked our bikes for the ... read more

Day 2 of our journey. We don't move too fast in the morning, no rush. We get the bikes pack up and are on our way. We stop in the big town of Hazelton, ND. Thought we would find a cafe to have breakfast. No luck. We stopped at a small gas station and had the breakfast of champions - Iced Tea, Diet Coke and a Snickers. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Visited with the owner of the gas station and then back on the bikes. Our plan was to take the highway from Moffit over to 1804 and head into Bismarck. Of course, we did not see the highway at Moffitt. We pulled into the truck stop in Sterling, found out that the highway is called the Moffit Road. Who Knew, no signs to tell us it would lead ... read more

Posted By: Onaxthiel: I beat Obfuscator out of the bivy by about 45 minutes. It gave me some time to play with his camera and get a few shots of the Missouri river sunrise at fort Abraham Lincoln. I also was able to help a young woman from Virginian help pack up her gear. She is road tripping as well, but on a far more condensed time line than we are. College in Washington, or some such. We then had our opportunity to explore F.A.L. and a site called On-A-Slant-Village, a site inhabited by the Mandan Indians a few years prior to the Lewis and Clark expedition. They abandoned it due to a smallpox outbreak, and left a prime piece of real estate for the army to occupy. River on one side, a deep (and deepened ... read more

What more can I say? On my recent trip to Rapid City, I took some back roads and went through the town of Lemmon, SD. In the center of town, is a Petrified Wood Park which is pretty good size for a small town park with lots of walkways, sculptures and small fountains. Some of the sculptures are quite tall and there are also rock sculptures and a very large castle that you can go inside and see a dinosaur bone still embedded in the rock. Who knew? The Park and the town is a nice little roadside diversion as you travel through that part of South Dakota. Also, a great place to grab a snack and fill up the tank. A few miles south of town, you can take a gravel road to the Hugh ... read more
