South Dakota and Elk Ridge

 Trent and his motorcycle posse went on a 4-day, 2,000 mile trip (give or take a few miles). (July 7-10)  They went from Blanding to South Dakota.  They all loved it!  Trent said it was the coolest, prettiest trip they've been on.  They saw lots of cool things on the way to their destination, Sturgis, SD.  Sturgis is a well known place for all those who ride hogs.  There is a huge motorcycle rally there every year.  They were there about two weeks early (on purpose). 
Mt. Rushmore, in all her glory!
Sturgis is famous for being the location of one of the largest annual motorcycle events in the world.  Attendance has been estimated as high as 754,844.  Population of Sturgis is usually 6,442.


They went to a buffalo jump. (where the Indians would run buffalo off a cliff).  Trent said there were some students from a university digging these buffalo bones with little picks and brushes.


Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming.  It's the first National Monument established in the US. (1906)


Camping on Elk Ridge
July 
Here are the die-hards that made it  for a long weekend of camping.

That's me, shooting some skeet.  I hit one!!!  I was pretty proud of myself.


 


We played a lot of horse shoes.
Neither Trent or I were very good.  But it was a good time!
