It was a beautiful morning with bright sunshine and I was able to catch up on a lot of admin duties and I’m looking forward to getting my mail in a couple of days in Sioux Fall SD from UPS
Before I left the Hardin MT area I visited Custard National Park after which I made the 390 mile journey toward the KOA near the Badlands of SD. This Park recognized Gen Custard and his battle at the Little Big Horn. The area is also a National Burial Ground for Military wounded or killed in battle spanning the wars of the west right up the current war in the middle east. http://www.nps.gov/libi/index.htm
I spoke with several guys riding as a group one of which was on the BMW 1200 gs adventure. This is possibly my next motorcycle to full fill my need to tour the world. http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/us/en/index.html
When I stopped for lunch at a Subway in Buffalo WY I met a couple who were touring the US on BMW's from Ontario CA. We sat and talk motorcycles for about an hour. They were actually taking a day off one in which I looking forward to once I get the St. Louis.
As I approached the Badlands darkness began to settle in ahead of me while in my left and right side mirrors revealed a horizon filled with a beautiful setting sun.
I arrived at the KOA campground after 9:00pm and the business was closed, however they left my key to the cabin on the shelf next to the front door. It was a great day of riding with great weather.
Tomorrow I travel into the Badlands National Park driving loop with some photos and then on to Mitchell SD for a cheap hotel.
