Day 14

I have to say that I am truly with a bunch of GENTLEMEN!!  They let me have the hotel room all to myself for an hour so I COULD SOAK IN THE TUB!   It was truly grand!  Especially since I have rhinosaurus heels.

Another day in the driver seat and Pearl and I are doing well!  It is truly amazing to watch the stamina of these fine athletes.  Each day they pop out of bed just a little earlier to try to beat the heat. Each day they are in great moods and ready to ride.  They line up and wait for me to read the daily blessing and off they go. 

 Today they rode out of Wyoming and into South Dakota like the cowboys they are!!  The scenery was fabulous!  We went past Devil's Tower and into the Black Hills. I have never seen the Black Hill's so it was new scenery to me  We stopped at a 100 year old General Store in Alladin SD.

We are entering Sturgis Country and today was the last day of the rally.   We still saw a lot of cycles in the area most of them heading home.  The guys were riding along today when someone yells to them from his cycle "Hey Terry" and then a second later "Hey Jerry".  We can only figure out that it must have Been Harry Davis from the Y by the description they gave of the rider on the cycle.

We are here in Sturgis with the RV park to ourselves since everyone has gone home and it is a full moon.  Beautiful night and perfect temp. No bugs and dishes done.

The guys rode 139 miles today. They left at 6:15  this morning and came in around 5:30ish.  They always come in with big smiles and great tales.  I give them chocolate milk and cocoa cola for the quick sugar to the blood stream.  Like any good mother would do!!

Lilly's perspective may sound something this.   "I am really enjoying my summer vacation!  I get to sleep in and hog the bed.  I like it when the bikes leave in the morning so then I can go swimming in the newest lake, pond or stream.  If we are not near any water my mom plays frisbee with me.  Sometimes two and three times a day.  We drive along and I sleep on the queen size bed all to myself. When we get in at the end of the day I get ice cold water with ice cubes and all. I really hate for this vacation to end."

While I was waiting for the guys this afternoon I was parked in front of an RV Sales place.  A young couple came out and asked me if I needed help.  I told them no I was waiting for some bicylists to come as I didn't want them to make a wrong turn.  They asked me about Pearl and if I liked her.  They thought it was the super buy of the day from the RV place and wanted to know if they could buy it when we are done. They were great and gave the guys a personal escort across the bridge to the right turn so they wouldn't get lost. They gave me their email address and said they would watch the blog.  Great Folks out here!!

Well thats all Folks! ZZZZZZZ
