We are hitting the road for three weeks. Instead of riding the motorcycle, we have made a special concession to our advancing age by trailering the bike. Our first destination is Custer State Park located in the Badlands of South Dakota. Yes, that is nearly 1300 miles from Somerville, Tennessee. So, we will spend the next few days driving across the country to the scenic Badlands.
Unlike our previous trips where we moved every day to a new location, we will stay for six days in the park at the Blue Bell Lodge where we have reserved a cabin (pictured on the link). We plan to ride the motorcycle from the cabin to nearby locations such as Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Crazy Horse Memorial the world's largest mountain carving. It's been 40 years since I visited this sight. I can hardly wait to see the progress made since 1971! There are so many things to see and do during the next 3 weeks. Stay tuned for updates.
