Me getting every second of sleep I can before we leave!

Meet Dino! Bob just loved him.  He was very

disappointed when he couldn't sit on him!

Today we left Des Moines, IA and headed for Rio, IL. On the way through we met up with
Don and Paula whom I hadn't seen in 12 years! We had a lot of rain off and on throughout

 the day and finally got to Mike and Sharon's around 6 p.m.

Fields of dead corn...devastating...

We left the center of S.D. this morning and drove 447 miles!!!  We were on the road

for 9 hours and I am beat up!  We're headed to Mike and Sharon's in Rio, IL. and

will be there tomorrow late afternoon.

Friday - August 10, 2012

We were up at 0730 and started breaking down our tent site.  We said our goodbye's and then

packed up the bikes and headed West...West???  Yes!  We went to Spearfish to drop off

lots of camping stuff at Ross and Randy's.  That was so kind of them!  Now Bob's bike (and mine)  won't be so heavy.  After leaving there we started east and I can honestly say I'm ready

to start heading towards home!  There will be NO drinking tonight. Hallelujah!!

Not only is this a loud Harley...you should

hear the horns!

 

How do you make left and right turns on this bike???

We were leaving this morning but changed our minds. We decided to spend some more

time with friends and to see Sugarland and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I did get laundry done, yeah!! Another great night at the "Chippie!"

Wednesday - August 8, 2012

Today was a big nap day for us.  I did manage to get the blog caught up again and Bob did

get his dip in the pond.  As usual we went up to 'Chippie' and watched the bands.  Eric Church was

the main band...Bob said he wasn't that impressed with him but I think it's because he

played a lot of slow music...personally I thought he was great!  We're leaving

in the a.m. and heading for IL.
