Day Nine - Saturday

After a restful night Bruce and I continued our journey. We only had about 525 miles left to go. We talked about staying in Colorado were it was cooler but responsibility won and we crossed the Arizona border and headed for home. Bruce and I made it home safe and sound. The trip was a total of 3,249 miles.

Day Eight - Friday

 Got up early to pack and drop Kim off at the Rapid City Airport. She didn't think making the trip home in two days sounded like fun. Joined up with Bruce and Jim in Hermosa, SD and we headed south through Nebraska, crossed over into Wyoming and then south again into Colorado. Jim split off in Baily, Co to spend some time with relatives and will head for home on Sunday. Bruce and I continued our 700+ mile ride to Montrose, CO.

Day Seven - Thursday

Breakfast this morning was in Nemo, SD. After that Bruce left for Montana so he could add it to list of states he has ridden his motorcycle in. Jim, Kim and I did a scenic loop down to Hot Springs, SD. Tonight we are headed out to The Full Throtle Saloon and then back to Sturgis. I am sure I will have more pictures that Kim will not allow me to post. :-)

We start our trip home tomorrow. So far we have ridden about 2000 miles.

Day Five - Tuesday

A little wet when we got up, so we had breakfast at the campground and waited for it to clear up.Then we headed back to Custer State Park. We saw several herds of buffalo, a bunch of antelope and a few donkeys. We had dinner with friends in Black Hawk and watched a thunder storm dump 2" of rain.
