Wisconsin to Sturgis SD
August 4
The WI Dells is home of the best mini-golf courses in the country. Take it from us, we played them all this trip. After a morning of mini-golf (loser has to eat anything from a menu that the winner tells them to) we left Wisconsin.
The weather in Sturgis will be cool, with scattered showers, so we stopped at a Wall Mart to pick up some more tarps, camping gear, and an easy-up canopy. Now, the bikes are very loaded. But, our gear still weighs a lot less than having a second rider on the back.
We stopped in LaCross WI for dinner at a pleasant little diner. We rode till almost 9pm and got half way across Minnesota. To bad it was late, because the SPAM museum was closed when we went by it. Next time…
August 5 – The boys agreed to ride an extra 90 miles so we could go the the Surf Ball Room in Iowa. It is the last place Buddy Holly played before the plane crash. For those how don’t know, Buddy Holly did a song called Rave On that I am quite partial to.
We rode well into South Dakota, and stayed in Chamberlin on the Missouri river. Sam and I took a sunset ride down along the river.
We stopped for dinner, and I ordered the Rocky Mountain Oyster apetizer. I think you can see from the picture how well they guys liked it. They must really like eachother though. nether brought up the winner-eat-anything bet from the mini-golf. The boys crashed when we got into the motel.
Ahh, timing it for the rally in Sturgis… I tried to get a few guys interested but nothing ever gelled. Maybe someday!
