More pictures on the road

Still on the road. Here are some pictures from the second throw away camera. I got the film developed on a disk in Cody, Wyoming on the 30th of August.


BOB AND SANDI HAWKE AT 10,000 FEET

BOB AND SANDI TOOK ME FOR A LITTLE RIDE ABOVE THE TREE LINE
THIS IS THE ROAD HOUSE STEAK PLACE THAT BOB AND SANDI TOOK ME. IT IS IN ROSCOE MONTANA. THE SLOGAN IS "WHERE THE HELL IS ROSCOE MONTANA" I AM NOT REALLY SURE BUT IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.


BOB RUNNING THE THREE DOGS AFTER OUR GREAT DINNER

NORTH DAKOTA BORDER


BUFFALO NORTH DAKOTA AT A SMALL GROCERY. THE CHECKER CAME OUT TO TALK TO ME AND ASKED ME WHY I WAS TAKING A PICTURE. I TOLD HER THAT I LIKED HER TOWN AND WAS RIDING ALL OVER THE WEST.

THIS LITTLE TOWN WAS IN NORTH DAKOTA. IT SORT OF REMINDED ME OF ROTAN TEXAS WHICH IS WHERE MY RELATIONS ARE FROM.



SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER

THE NEBRASKA BORDER

BOY LOOK AT THAT TRAFFIC


THIS IS A SIDE VIEW OF WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE GEORGE WASHINGTON'S HEAD. MOUNT RUSHMORE WAS COMPLETELY FOGGED IN.


NICE LITTLE MOUNTAIN

SOME BADLANDS

GETTING CLOSE TO CHIEF SITTING BULL


SITTING BULL MONUMENT WITH A THROW AWAY CAMERA


DOUBLE CLICK ON THIS ONE AND YOU CAN SEE IT PRETTY WELL
MORE SITTING BULL


I FEEL A CLOSE ENCOUNTER COMING ON



DEVILS TOWER WAS AMAZING. THE NATIVE AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT THEIR ANCESTORS CLIMBED UP THE MOUNTAIN TO ESCAPE A BEAR. THE BEAR THEN SCRATCHED THE SIDES TO TRY TO GET AT THEM. THAT HAD TO BE SOME BIG BEAR.


ANTELOPES ON THE RANGE. HOME HOME ON THE RANGE

BUTTS OF BISON. THERE ARE NO BUFFALO IN NORTH AMERICA THIS WAS IN
"WIND CAVE NATIONAL MONUMENT" WHICH IS BETWEEN MT. RUSHMORE AND CHIEF SITTING BULL.
YOU ARE ASKING NOW WHY DID I NOT PUT UP SOME PICTURES OF MT. RUSHMORE? WELL IT WAS COMPLETELY FOGGED IN AND IT COULD NOT BEEN SEEN
I DID STOP THERE TO MAKE MY ONLY REPAIR OF THE TRIP. I HAD EXTENDED MY WINDSHIELD DUE TO RAIN IN DEADWOOD. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK DOWN TO THE LOW SETTING IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO TAKE THE FRONT COWLING OFF THE BIKE AND UNSCREW A BOLT WITH MY NEW TOOL KIT THAT HONDA PROVIDED. IT TOOK SOME TIME BUT FIXING STUFF ON YOUR BIKE IS ALSO FUN.


THAT DARN TRAFFIC IS JUST A MESS!!! THIS IS SOMEWHERE OUT IN PROBABLY NEBRASKA OR WYOMING

VIET NAM WAR MONUMENT IN CODY WYOMING. I HAD A REST STOP HERE AND READ ALL THE NAMES.

Bob took me to that exact mountain pass. I was riding a dirt bike. Maybe a 125??

It still looks beautiful! Great pics Dad!
