Looking for the pot of gold Sat Aug 7


Last night in Hardin, MT we had a terrible storm with lightning and winds so strong we thought the camper was going to flip. After the storm there was a beautiful double rainbow.
Storm's a coming
 











This morning was nice and clear with temps in the 60s as we continued our trek east across eastern Montana, northeast Wyoming and South Dakota.

 


























As we approached South Dakota we saw more and more motorcyclists headed for the big rally in Sturgis next week. From the South Dakota border to Rapid City we saw campers and motorcyclists parked everywhere there was space. There was a steady stream of motorcycles and trucks and campers pulling trailers full of motorcycles all the way across South Dakota. We tried to go to Wall, SD and Badlands but there were so many motorcyclists the traffic was terrible and all the gas stations were packed. The roar on the interstate was unbelievable.

We are spending tonight in Mitchell, SD KOA and there are lots of cyclists here also.












It is hot here, temps in the mid 90s. Hard to adjust to when we have gotten use to 50s and 60s.

Gas prices ranged from $2.84 to $3.00 per gallon today. Hope to be home Monday but still have over 1,000 miles to go.
