    I get so jealous of Rich when I watch these videos n he is so lucky having a partner who does this with him n vice versa,I don't know that being together every min of the day would be for me but being with someone as incredible as your wife would help allot,be safe n have fun while you can

    Max and I stopped at Wall Drug when we left Sturgis. Easy to spend a lot of time there. Chris is a unicorn and Rich is quite special too. Thanks for grabbing life by the handlebars and sharing with us.

    You two are the best 👌. I haven't watched any videos for about 2 months because we moved from Florida to Texas and it was something I do not want to repeat. You have so much fun together it keeps a smile on my face while watching. I have to say again what a beautiful country we live in. So let me catch up with you and keep them coming 😏.

    Great point, that those little dashes between the dates on the grave stones are what really count. Everyone's achievements, from the great to the least of us, will all be reduced one day, to a little dash on a stone. The only part of us that lives on in this world, are the memories in the hearts of those we connected with while we were here. We should all strive to make those dashes mean somthing good.

    I do enjoy your videos even as I am a bit disappointed that you skipped Pipestone, MN. All native tribes made the pilgrimage to Pipestone to harvest the soft red stone for making ceremonial pipes. Even today you will find Native families working their quarries.
    My Lady enjoyed Sioux Falls, South Dakota's Falls Park and the Palisades camp ground on one of our first long trips for her. Another trip from my home in Schleswig, IA took us to Pipestone and Redwood Falls before turning south to the Iowa great lakes; Okoboji ( east and west lake) and Big an Little Spirit Lakes on the states northern border. Food for thought folks on your next trip through the area, maybe before seeing the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota.
    Thank You again, you all are in my prayers

    This was an exciting episode for us. My Wife is from South Dakota and because of that we've spent some time meandering around the place. We have relatives there and keep up with a lot of the South Dakota news. The people are wonderful. We love Wall, SD and have stayed there, enjoyed the ice water and coffee, and have sat on the same benches next to the figures you've enjoyed during your visit. Right now I'm dying for one of those ten dollar rolls. Yes, this one was fun for us. Ride Safe! Thanks for Sharing!

    I live in Europe and I will be able to go back to US finally - end of November. Probably too late to ride my bike, but I will see her again....and tell her about the tour I have in mind for the Spring in the SW....

    As a kid, when the slide was a little slow, we would take turns sliding down sitting on a piece of waxed paper. After several turns, it was super slick!
    As for Wall Drug, I think I started seeing their signs shortly after leaving Denver. Still have a bumper sticker from almost 40 years ago that reads 'HAVE YOU DUG WALL DRUG?' Cool place regardless!

    Crossing either of the Dakotas is miles and miles - of miles and miles. Some of us find it interesting; others don’t.
    Having grown up in Michigan where trees make a half mile line of sight common, and a full mile sight range uncommon, the “far seeing lands” fascinate me.

    Personally I think the Blackhills and surrounding area is some of the most interesting country in the US. It does typically get pretty hot and windy during the summer but makes up for it in the winter when it's really windy and freezing. When in northern MN you forgot to mention the state bird (mosquito ) Oh ya we have wood ticks too. Another great video

    I was a Junior in high school when I lived in Wall, SD. Like I said before, I worked at Wall Drug store. (I did my license driving tests, both car and bike there.) I did the serpentine on my bike driving on a parking lot at the bank next door to Wall Drug.
    One day I was working in Wall Drug and I'd seen many cattle prods and I couldn't believe two D cell batteries could make cows jump so bad. I picked up a short one... (Just 17 yrs old) and I stuck the prod end in one hand and pushed the button with my other hand. I gave a little scream as it spun me around and the cattle prod flew through the air going a couple aisles over. As I looked around, I saw old lady Hustead standing there watching me. I sheepishly said, "Excuse me", and started to walk away. As I was leaving I could see her cracking up and laughing at me so hard. I've never disbelieve those cattle prods because I learned first hand why the make even huge bulls jump and move to get away.
    My Dad and I used to go to old city parks and schools to try metal detecting. One day we had just found some old coins below a slide.
    The kids were watching us and asked what we were doing. We told them we were looking for old things people had lost playing there. One id asked if we'd found anything and my Dad said yes... He showed them an old quarter we'd found... and without missing a beat... the little kid said it was his and it had fallen out of his pocket when he went down the slide.
    We laughed so hard...
    Later, before we left that park... Dad asked them where most town folks would hangout most. He immediately replied... "Over there by the bar". Dad and I laughed so good as they knew instantly where town people hung out.
    The kid was only six or seven yrs old.
    Town kids had their snowmobiles and all I had was my (1971) 175 Yamaha Enduro and I rode it year round regardless of the weather.
