We started the day with a short ride from Hardin, MT to Little Big Horn National Monument. After spending about an hour trying to figure out what Custer did wrong, we discovered that he was simply out numbered and underestimated the strength of the Indians.
When we left the battlefield traveling southeast on US212 we were simply trying to make good time to our next stop of Sturgis. Along the route we witnessed a car have an accident. The car was traveling toward us about a half mile away it made a quick turn to the right and then fishtailed into the ditch on the right side of the road crossing our lane. When we arrived on site some of the family was already out of the car. They had a right rear tire blow out. I am not sure how fast they were going at the time, but they are lucky they did not roll the car over. No body was hurt, but Sabrina called 911 to get some help to the scene. We waited around for about 45 minutes before a sheriff finally arrived. He did not need a statement from us, but we left our name and number with him in case the accident scene investigator had any questions for us. The family of four with two small children was South Koreans from Michigan.
We ran into more construction going into South Dakota and had to wait about 30 minutes for pilot car to take us through the 1 lane that was available. We stopped in Belle Fourche, SD to see the monument for the Geographic Center of the United States.
After lunch we were off to Sturgis. The 69th annual Black Hills Rally is less that a month away. We ran into a little rain through Rapid City on our way down to Keystone to stay for the night. We had a nice dinner and a couple of drinks at the Red Garter Saloon and listened to a couple of guys play some old country songs. We will hit Mount Rushmore that opens at 8 am and then start making our way back home.
