Wild Hogs Ride Again

 


It has been 10 years since the first Wild Hogs trip in 2013.  It is due time we rode the Tri-glides on another Wild Wild West adventure.  This time the trips initial mileage is set at 5,515 miles. We are currently scheduled to go to 13 states. 13 is a definite we may even be able to make it 15 by adding just a few more miles.  We will see what happens. On our adventure we will see the World’s largest Hercules Beetle, A Big Blue Whale, several National parks.  We are going to ride a Train into the Grand Canyon, watch the sunrise in Monument Valley. We are going to eat a doughnut at the top of Pikes Peak at 14,115 ft.  These are just a few of the thing we will be doing on this trip.  Follow along as we go on our next Big Adventure!  I am so excited I can’t stand it.

Day 3

 Day 3 down Stop 1 Back down to Wall Drug and the Harley Shop. While eating Breakfast we all put our meteorologist hats on and was trying to figure out what the game plan was for rain gear today. We decided after we left the Harley shop we would go under the shelter next door and put all of our rain gear on.  We came out to the bikes and took all of our meteorological decisions and through them out the window and decided we were just gonna ride.  For anyone who has never had to put a rain suit on. Putting them on is an absolute nightmare. They get stuck on everything as you put them on and once you get them on they are so stinking hot 🥵 they are just miserable.  Second Stop Mt. Rushmore Going to Mt. Rushmore is awesome and the journey to get there is just as amazing as the destination. you get there by going through Black Hills National Park. This is still just an amazing and majestic sight to see. Gutzon Borglum had a vision. They said that his vision was as fragil...

Day 4

 Woke up this morning in Gillette, Wyoming. We decided to find out about Gillette, you know something more than they had hotel availability.  Fun fact #1  Gillette supplies 35% of the Nations coal and they are a significant oil supplier. They refer themselves as the energy capitol of the country  Fun fact #2 The town of Gillette was named after Edward Gillette. When the railroad was laying new tracks down they were supposed to follow Donkey creek.  Edward found a different route that save the railroad company a ton of money. By using the new route he discovered they shortened the distance by 5 miles and had to build 30 less bridges. His reward was to have the city named after him. On the road again! First Stop Wally World!  Needed ear plugs the wind was whipping insane again today. Wind gust were at 41 mph according to the warning sign on the interstate. Who knew we would know someone who had a town named after them. Douglas is the "Home of the Jackalope" I...

Day 2

 Day 2 Went to bed last night with tornado warnings! 😕 We were to tired to be concerned about it.  We figured if they were really serious about the warning they would like flash lights and knock on doors if it was going down for real.  So we prepped for bed.  We turned the lights out then realized we did not know where in the heck the remote was. We looked around for a hot minute and decided screw this we will just unplugged the TV.  That's what everyone does, right?!?! When we woke up this morning the trees were all bending over and the wind was blowing extremely hard.  Turns out according to the news the wind would be blowing most of the day from the North @ around 26 miles per hour.  I knew the wind was of significance, but I never realized how much of a pain in the butt it would be.  I do believe we are now all suffering from whiplash in our necks.  Every time you would pass a Semi your neck would get whipped to the left side. Crazy !!!...
