Westward Ho! Day 9

The Long Road Home

While getting to Sturgis is a very long, hot ride, getting home is even longer, hotter and vastly more crowded. 
Thousands of bikes, cars, trailers, campers and RVs seem to want to be on the interstate at the same time. Throw in a summer storm and the ride was even longer.

But we made it home in time to greet our faithful canine companion (who is always a little miffed that he didn't get to come along) unpack and wash the road off of us.

It’s always sad when an adventure ends and even sadder knowing this is our last big ride until next year. In the meantime, we’ll be focusing on the other parts of our life: hunting, yoga, house projects, Wild hockey games, and planning next year’s journeys which will take us to the Canadian Provinces and Alaska.

We’ll check in every now and then and post any more excitement that we encounter. Until then – Namaste!
