First of all this is not one of my pictures,I could not get one to download. However, this one worked out just fine because we are going to see Mt. Rushmore tomorrow.
Since we left Casper, WY we have had 2 fun filled days of more wind. The wind has not been constantly in our faces like it was going into Casper.
Yesterday we left Casper on a 107 mile journey to Lusk, WY. There have been a lot of high wooden fences along the roads lately to help with drifting snow, sure wouldn't want to be the person putting them up. Rode on some interstate again today, but it was much cleaner along the berm than the last time we were on an interstate. Once we go off the interstate we rode on some back roads for awhile. We encountered some longhorn cattle along side the road at one point. Instant entertainment as Ken was snorting and stomping to get their attention. Actually, some more cattle came out from a ditch to see what was going on. Needless to say, Ted and I just sat there and shook our heads in amazement.
We had our power breakfast in a little town called Douglas, stopped at a McDonalds to get a bite to eat. For the Moore side of the family I even saw a sign for Gillette, WY.
Stayed in a little town of Lusk, population approx.2200 last night. They had a parade, it wasn't in our honor though. Nothing big, just a small town parade of about 20 minutes with horses, cars, fire trucks, and plenty of candy being thrown.
Ken I and went in the evening to see a live show called the Legend of Rawhide. Part legend and also part historical, a lot of work must have gone into it. I will not take the time to explain the legend, but there were several 100 people, 10-12 wagons, and obviously a lot of horses which were expertly ridden.
Today was a 91 mile ride, again we had headwinds part of the way. I think we can probably expect that most of the way across South Dakota, which we entered today. The scenery was a little greener today, which was something we hadn't seen in quite awhile. It was nice to see a new change. Had 2 climbs today that we long, but not real steep, tomorrow will be a different story.
We are going past Crazy Horse, that they are still working on, then we will up close and personal with Mt. Rushmore. I am really looking forward to seeing both of those things.
It is hard to believe that in 4 days we will be half way through our trip and half the mileage done, boy does time go fast when your having fun.
tom, continue to follow both you and lance each day. Lance is hero #1, you are hero #2. The Moore's were at Mt Rushmore on Monday. Could have been the same day you were there. Maintain Motion........bill
