Arrived early at the Blackhills lodge. Snow called for at my fuel stop heading to Yellowstone north entrance and possible across Yellowstone. So I bagged it. Headed for Ten Sleep canyon and the Big Horn range crossing. Wow.

FJRPittsburgh and MadMudder made it to Neighbor Don’s across the street from me. They’ll be continuing their “Yes, we know they aren’t Harleys” tour to Spearfish tomorrow. I hope to be rolling around 6a with a stop for pie at Al’s Oasis (thanks FYB) and little else.

Sonya and I arrived late this afternoon, picked up our rental car, checked into our hotel, and had a nice dinner with a few of the early arrival FJR heathens. Tomorrow will be a leisurely brekkie and then a visit to Devils Tower.

Coffee at Common Grounds @ 0730. Lots of riders planning on attending to sort out where to ride on Friday. Many gathered at the Motel this evening for beers and conversation before several groups headed off for supper. Group headed back to the campground about 9:30. If it is wet on Friday, and that looks increasingly possible, I suggest the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum, or the Spearfish High Plains Heritage Center as worthy of your time.
