Another big horn sheep, and all we saw was antelope on the plains, but lots of them.

Day 4 Sturgis, Bike Rally capital of the north. New favored Curvie road.

After a visit to Sturgis, SD we went up to Ranchester Wyoming and rode across the bighorn mountain range on Hwy 14, this was as fun a curvies I have ever rode. About 25 miles of long sweeping and a few tight turns perfect for the end of days on the interstate. This road should be in closer to home. The sport bike guys would have a Blast. We didn't see any other bikes through these snowcapped passes. Couldn't get close enough to the snow banks to get any good pics but we were over 10,400 feet elevation and the the bluffs above us had quite a bit of snow. You can see a distant shot from the valley of the snowy peaks above. Ended the day in Greybull instead of Cody due mostly to the black sky between us and Cody. Good thing the storm with the gray sky was full of high winds and rain, best observed from the motel room.

After a day in the park we went to Wall and Wall Drugs then to a cozy camp site for the night the weather was perfect for camping, 55 low.

More BadLands

Day 3 Mitchell to Wall South Dakota

Spent most of the day touring the badlands, they got their name from the west bound settlers who said they were badlands because they were to bad to pass through them, it is easy to see why. The route is marked in yellow and the badlands is the dip in the left end of the trail.

Day 2 brings us to Mitchell South Dakota

Wind was unreal all day leaning to go straight, now we start being tourist rather than just riding the interstate. Tomorrow we go to the Badlands National Park, and Wall.
