Sturgis

A rally is a raly, is a rally...only Sturgis is on a much larger scale. I have never seen so many bikes in one place. And hot! The temperatures are warm early in the day and grow to scorching by the end of the day.

We rode in and found a shady place to park on a side street. It wasn't so bad until the heat grew and it was time to go. Steve stayed late and pulled into the campground just before we went to bed, so he didn't wake us up! He got some great shots of custom bikes, and the bikes on the strip. And yes there were scantily clad girls....those photos will have to wait till we get home for those of you interested.

We returned to Sturgis the next morning for pins at the HOG booths. The 2011s were on display and they look fantastic. The speakers in the Street Glide will blow any music fan away! Jerry just had to sit on one....I'm surprised he isn't coming home with it. We had custom patches made up and went back to the campground to load up the gear. It didn't take long to reach Wyoming,

We saw one nasty accident on the way to Worland. We rode across 16 West through the Big Horn National Forest. Talk about mountains! I did fine until I looked down and saw just how far up we really were. We met a couple of folks here from Austrailia (love the accents). They have been touring for five weeks from the east coast to the west. We also rescued a biker who ran out of fuel. I won't say who rode this guy "bitch", but it wasn't me! He was very appreciative...guess I would be too if I was alone and in the middle of nowhere.

I know why they call this Big Sky country. Not only are the storms impressive, so are the sunsets. So here we are at the little campground and getting ready to call it a night. Finally a campground with electricity and WIFI! Night all. Tomorrow Cody and heading to Bear Tooth Pass and Yellowstone.
