We stopped at the Mammoth site in Hot Springs and headed for our stay in Custer State Part. The riding through the Black Hills was excellent and we enjoyed seeing the bison and wild burros again. We rode to Mt. Rushmore for the lighting ceremony at night and had a wild ride on the winding rode back to the campsite. We left the Monday the rally began and headed to ND (a state Jerri and I had not visited). The badlands of ND were nice, but not as impressive as the badlands of SD. We rode to Bismarck ND and headed to Pierre SD (a 90 mile stretch on which we saw 2 other vehicles). From Pierre SD we followed the Native American Biway as saw Sitting Bull's grave and Sakakawea monument. We headed east through SD and a rolling hills section of western IA and home to BG on 8/7/09. We traveled sections of the Pony Express, Oregon, Mormon, and Lewis and Clark trails. Our trip was 14 days and 4423 miles and we stayed off interstate most of the trip west of MO.
