Day 7... Devils Tower.

There was no group consensus about where to ride to today. We didn't even do a group breakfast today. John and I did our laundry this morning then had breakfast. We went back to camp and there was still no group plan, so John and I made our own plans.
We decided to go to Devils Tower in Wyoming.

We didn't go into the National Monument, but stopped outside at the Devils Tower Trading Post.

The temps today hovered right around 100 degrees. That's why we made it a short trip. I had my cool vest, but didn't put it on. I drank over 2 quarts of Gatoraide on the trip. It was too hot to stop and take pictures! We had to keep moving to stay cool.

I think tomorrow will be our last day here. We'll head for AZ and NM on Wednesday morning. I still want to try and get some evening pictures from down town Sturgis.

  1. Wow, that is a lot of bikes. I have always wanted to visit Devil's Tower but have never made it there. Where in AZ and NM? You must like HOT!

    1. We're headed for Chama, NM and Pinetop, AZ. We want to ride the old Hwy 666, now renamed 191? I think.
      It was 105 today!!!

  2. Devils Tower looks really neat. Nature is amazing in what it has created over the millennia. Hope your temps cool off a bit for you.

  3. I loved the Devil's tower, where's the picture of the big boot? So, it's hot in Wyoming - I can't even imagine what it will be like in Arizona and New Mexico (two states I've never visited because they are too damned hot in summer). Erik, you are retired, ever thought about going to the hot places in cooler times? I know, it's a personal challenge!

    1. John and I have been taking about doing things a little different next year. We thought about going to the rally for only the last few days, then waiting until just after Labor Day (early September) for our long trip!
