44943 - Up at 5, slept in like a baby with all the rain, to blue cloudless skys. Today we headed up to Mt. Rushmore, visited Sturgis, viewed the site and had a easy ride. 433 sunny miles. So far the evening looks great here in Belvidere, SD.

44303 - Up at 0400, packed and on the road at 5. 30 minutes on the road brought more rain. Rain gear back on and headed east only to come upon a one car rollover that didn't look good. FD already on scene so we kept moving. Rain didn't let up until Billings, Mt. It was actually snowing on the pass as we reached the summit. Spend the night at Sheridan, Wy. and had at great thunder and lightning storm that lasted 20 minutes. Doug was worried about funnel clouds - I enjoyed the show. 645 rain soaked miles today - beats work anyday.

43926 - Woke up this morning at 0330 to rain - what a great way to start off the trip. Looking east they are still getting pounded with thunder storms and rain. Looking forward to some great weather photo's. Packed and loaded meeting up with my riding partner in Ellensburg, Wa at 1300. Rain all the way from Enumclaw to the top of the pass, then the clouds broke and had mix sun and showers into Ellensburg. Met up with Doug at 1400, he was late as usual. Had a bite to eat and headed east towards our first planned stop that night at Missula, Mt. Got tied up at a fatal car accident (waiting in line) at the Washington/Idaho state line for one and a half hours so re-planned and spent the night at Kellogg, Idaho. We scammed a "free" campsite at a deserted mining camp. Woke at 0200 to rain falling on the tent, though to myself another wet start to the second day. Finished the day first 1/2 day with 373 miles.
