BIKERS MEET THE GRIZWALDS!

Guten Morgen!

Well, we survived another day in the Wild, Wild West!  What a gorgeous frigging day! 

The morning started off with a pretty good laugh.  At 54 I am the youngest guy on the trip.  I got an email from a friend who suggested due to my lame post the day before that maybe we had been to a strip bar or such.  At the time I got the email, the four of us were sitting around the table having coffee and discussing the effects of fiber on each one of us!  Yep, just a group of wild and crazy guys! 

Then, I am in the bathroom shaving and I hear the conversation go something like this…..”a woman’s needs are just different than a man’s!”  I looked around the corner and said “are you listening to yourselves?  You sound like a much of women!”  You had to be there.  It was funny!

Hooked up with some more friends from SC.  My buddy Lance is just retired from the fire department.  Him and some friends are up.  All eight of us hooked up and rode just some of the finest roads in America.

First stop was lunch in Hill City, SD…….more to follow!

Second stop was Mt Rushmore.  Just a phenomenal national monument.  Here are a couple of pics:

Updates on Tommy.  Still sore and having trouble walking.
After Mt Rushmore, we headed to Iron Mountain Road.  Very gorgeous road.  From there we ran into a hail strom.  Lucky for us a bar was near by and we were able to wait out storm. 
From Iron Mountian we proceeded over to the Needles Hwy.  The road got it’s name from one particular rock formation that looks like the eye of a needle!

The Grizwalds…..we stopped in Hill City for lunch.  Desparado’s.  Great little place. Eight bikers at one table.  That is when the Grizwald’s showed up.  A family of five!  Mom, Dad, and kids ranging in age from 8-13 is my guess.  And then we all realized…matching shirts, dresses and shorts!  The kicker, fabric was MONKEY’S AND BALLOONS!  What on God’s Earth were the parnt’s thinking.  I can only assume the Mom caught Dad cheating and for part of his punishment….he was forced to be humiliated in public!
OK, it’s time to ride!
MDD
