Road Trip

On Sunday May 23, we went fishing, but didn't get any keepers. Apparently we didn't have the right bait--mini marshmallows! Then we went on to Bear Country USA by Rapid City. Plenty of bears there. There was even bear guards--one bear pacing back and forth at each gate to the bear area. We saw Elk in velvet, Mountain Lions, Buffalo, Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Wolves, and of course Bears. You drove your car through this free roaming area. And then you stopped and visited Babyland. Here they had Porcupine, Lynx, Skunk, Ducks, Otters, and a bunch of baby Bears. It was a good day, close to 70 degrees, so I decided that we had to go to Sturgis, where the annual motorcycle rally is held in August. We had to at least go there once since we are close. Well, during the week(s) of the rally, Main Street is closed to all traffic except bikes. We got to drive right down Main Street which had little traffic and saw only a few bikes, but is is evening on a Sunday in May, so didn't expect to see many.
