It was just a parking place for the night, and perfectly adequate. Level. 50 amp power. Cable TV. We didn't even unhook the 5th wheel from the truck.
The next day, we rolled into Hart Ranch in the Black Hills. Much prettier, nicer amenities...
We settled in on a site on the perimeter so Izzy would have lots of walking room. A perfectly beautiful day: sunny and temps in the 70s. Time to kickback.
Sunday morning, I was looking forward to a breakfast sandwich at Hardee's. Interesting how some small things are a treat when you haven't had them for a while. After breakfast, we did some leisurely shopping through Wal-Mart and Sam's. Again, a simple pleasure we haven't had for a couple months... I actually enjoyed the experience.
When we got back to the HitchHiker, I got the bike out of the cargo trailer and we hit the road. As beautiful as it is in the Tetons, the Black Hills is tough to beat for great motorcycle riding. The fall colors are just beginning to turn here, and it was a perfect day for the bike - with the temp around 80ยบ, it was the first time since we left Texas that we didn't need jackets on the bike.
We rode some great back roads, making our way through Keystone and up past Mt. Rushmore. We stopped on the back side to get a profile photo of George...
More great riding, through Hill City, then back to the Ranch. It was Izzy's turn and she wanted some leash time...
One very happy little furry girl...
We sat outside, played some Yahtzee, and just kicked back. Nice having no schedule again. The HitchHiker, truck, and bike all need a good scrubbing... I'll get around to it. ;-)
