The day dawns rainy and foggy as we fuel up for our departure from King Creek Ranch.

Rain or shine, Greg is ready to ride his gorgeous Road King Classic.

There is waiting time before the start as three riders are delayed, allegedly by heavy rain in Vail.

After riding for hours in the afternoon heat of the Wyoming plains, cold drinks and ice creams are in order at a gas stop.

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you will see the mountain sculpture of Crazy Horse on the road leading to Sturgis. Mount Rushmore is farther up the road.
