Photos from Deadwood, South Dakota

Photos from Deadwood Bike Week, Black Hills Rally After riding through Spearfish Canyon, you are dropped off in Lead followed by Deadwood. Lead does not really have a lot to offer and as Tanya had never been to Deadwood before it was decided that we would stop there for lunch and to check out the hot bikes. Deadwood has really changed a lot since my first visit in 1986. I guess the combination of bikers and casinos has paid off for them. I am not really sure why Sturgis does not have any casinos, or if they do have them, …

Photos of a day in Sturgis and Rapid City

Sturgis and Rapid City, SD 70th Annual Black Hills Rally and Races, August 2010 We woke up to an absolutely gorgeous day in South Dakota. Not too hot, not too cold. Well rested and a great latte prepared by Tanya (yes, she brought her latte machine and special blend of coffee with her), and we were ready to roll. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of traffic. I had spoken to a few people on their way home from Sturgis and had been led to believe that there were more than 1.250 million attendees. Well, if there were that …

Cheyenne, WY to Piedmont, SD

Photos from Wyoming and South Dakota The Final Leg of the Ride to the Black Hills Rally Thursday did not quite go as planned. I started off in Cheyenne, WY and should have been able to make it to Piedmont, SD (my destination) in five hours. Unfortunately, within minutes of leaving Cheyenne I knew there was something physically wrong with me as I had very little muscle control. Unfortunately, as I mentioned the other day, once you leave civilization in Wyoming you are pretty much committed to continuing on until you reach another big town. It just so happens that …

Grand Junction to Denver Pictures

Photos From I-70 In Colorado The ride from Grand Junction to Denver, CO Wednesday morning, I continued my ride to the 70th Annual Black Hills Rally and Races from Grand Junction, CO. I was doing well on the amount of miles traveled per day, so I was able to stop a little more frequently and enjoy the Colorado beauty found along I-70. This included going through the Eisenhower Tunnel, which is over 11,000 feet in elevation. This resulted in the temperatures dropping to the high 70’s and low 80’s. After spending the last few days in the high 90’s and …

A Picture a Day, July 2010

Photo of the Day, Project 365 [adrotate group=”6″] July 2010 Photos Sorry this is late, but there was a legitimate reason which I will not go into here. July was a pretty active month. It started off with some friends taking me out to dinner and then to see Devo in concert. It was pretty fun. I should probably put up a gallery from the show. The next day I flew to Indiana to visit Tanya and to participate in the annual GotWebHost.com 4th of July Extravaganza. Tanya flew home with me to attend VidCon and then we spent several …

Picture of the Day 164 and 165

Sent my girlfriend back home yesterday, so I guess it is time to get back into my regular routine. My picture of the day for Day 164 is Buddy and I relaxing before we get back to work. Today’s picture of the day shows some interesting marketing. Judging by the sign, they tried to rent the house for $800 a month if you got a one year lease. Apparently, then did not work so they raised the rent to $1,750 a month. House remains vacant. Surprised?

Photos From Sequoia National Park

Ride to Sequoia National Park [adrotate group=”6″] Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains Since it is Memorial Day weekend, I decided to take an extended Sunday ride this week. I loaded up the Limited with my Canon and laptop and headed back to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I initially intended to head up the 395, but since I was there a couple of weeks ago, I decided to veer to the west side of the Sierra Nevada mountains and go to Sequoia National Park instead. I need more time there, so I will return again with Geek Good Girl. Enjoy the photos. …

Photos From the Virgin River Gorge

Virgin River Gorge Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Northwest Arizona I have frequently driven up I-15 through the Virgin River Gorge, and it is always breathtaking. Most of the time I have been on a motorcycle and when the canyon walls begin to tower over you it is majestic. I have never been able to stop and take photos primarily because all the cool turnoffs seem to be just around the bend, and I never really felt comfortable slamming on the brakes to stop at one. This time I had a definite plan so I adjusted my speed accordingly. I read that …

Photos of Littlefield Cemetery in Arizona

Littlefield Cemetery [adrotate group=”6″] Photos from Littlefield, AZ When you travel north on Interstate 15 out of Nevada, you cut through a small slice of Arizona before you hit Utah. Although this slice of AZ is very thin, it really does have some remarkable scenery. Tanya and I both enjoy visiting old cemeteries, so when we spotted this gem outside of Littlefield, we did not hesitate to pull off to investigate. As you can see, it was worth the stop.

Sunday ride to Stone Brewing Company

Ride to Stone Brewing Company [adrotate group=”6″] The Family That Plays Together Stays Together It seems like it has been a long time since I did a Sunday ride, so yesterday, I did something about it. My buddy, Phil, and I rode down to my son’s house and met up for a ride down to Escondido to the Stone Brewing Company. It was a great ride and Stone Brewing Company provides some great beer. Their food is not bad either. Someday I will have to take Tanya there. Enjoy the photos. [adrotate group=”1″]
