Saturday July 24, 2010
The morning sun shined through the windows in the cabin giving me the feeling of a beautiful day ahead for riding. I started the day out in the Badlands National Park loop tour.
The photos are incredible and since it is a Saturday the park was filled with hundreds if not thousands of tourist. While traveling along the loop, fifty or more people stopped their vehicles just to watch the Prairie Dogs stick their heads up out of their holes and pose for photos.
I stopped in at the Minuteman Museum only to get my park passport dated and the crowds there looked like the Smithsonian’s in DC. I was ready to continue on towards Mitchell SD only 200 miles away.
I arrived and luckily I reserved my cabin because the campground was packed with kids everywhere. Well after an “Oliva G” cigar and a beer it was time for bed. Only 75 miles from my destination tomorrow at the KOA in Sioux Falls SD to pick up mail from the UPS store Monday morning. Depending on what time the mail arrives I will be headed towards the STL for some family time.
I’m excited and looking forward to riding for the first time with my sister who has an 800 Suzuki cruiser motorcycle for the ride to Chicago for the family reunion. Go Marla go!
