8/8/2026 It Got Better As We Rode Rode...

One of the best days of that year. After our Snowbird excursion, I thought that would not be possible.

As we headed north past Chadron, Nebraska we experienced the first sign of the Black Hills of South Dakota.

We were by rolling towards some of the best motorcyclist roads you could ride.

I had thought that Arkansas Riding and North Carolina's The Dragon were about the best. However, since experiencing South Dakota's roads leading up to Mount Rushmore Memorial, I stand corrected!

Mount Rushmore was "Awesome" as always. However, there were many new buildings and parking complexes than I remembered 16 years ago.

It was a "Awesome" Day!
