2015 the Year of the Motor Home for us
Shelly and I purchased our first motor home this year. We have already spent a month in Arizona enjoying the warm November sunshine and riding our Harley on several scenic routes.
We plan to do more cruising in January, February and March. The southwest is an area neither of us has spent much time visiting, so everything is a new experience for us. Living and traveling in a motor home is also a new experience. I'll let you know later in 2016 how that turns out!

Shelly and I took a few extra days this summer to visit the Black Hills on our way to the Alberts Family Reunion in Winter Park, CO. The weather forecast help us to decide to trailer the motorcycle to our destinations and then ride once we arrived. That turned out to be a good decision. The trip from Custer, SD to Evergreen, CO included three hours of rain and the trip back to Minneapolis temperatures were in the high 90's. But the riding in the Black Hills and Colorado wes almost picture perfect.
In the picture below Shelly and I stopped in Hill City for some lunch and shopping. Hill City is one of our favorite places to just hang out in the Black Hills.

Traveling the USA
Lots of riding planned for 2014. Rides include the Minnesota State HOG Rally in Brainerd, MN in June. Possibly a trip out to Cody, WY, the Beartooth and Yellowstone National Park if the weather cooperates. In July Shelly and I will be headed to the Black Hills of South Dakota and on to Denver and the southern Rockies. August will include riding in northern Minnesota and possibly a trip from along Lake Superior from Duluth up to Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Mississippi River Road Ride - June, 2013
Click Here to check out the Mississippi River Road Ride from the headwaters of the Mississippi in Northern Minnesota to the end of the Mississippi River as it empties into the Gulf of Mexico near Venice, LA.
I was not able to complete the entire route in 2013. Jeff Reitan and I did ride from Minneapolis all the way to the very southern tip of the Mississippi River Delta south of New Orleans. The Minneapolis to the Mississippi River headwaters in northern Minnesota will have to wait until 2014.
