  • In this video, I ride from Deadwood, SD to the beautiful town of Red Lodge, Montana. Along the way I journey across vast Native American reservations, swimming, hiking, and hunting up some unusual fare before climbing into the foothills of the Rockies. From there, I make my way into the town of Red Lodge, where I stop by the ranger station and make camp in the wilderness.

    If my history is correct I believe Sitting Bull told his people ,Do not take anything from the Soldiers because in his vision he seen a plague upon his people if they did so. They did anyway and of course we know how it all turned out. But yes Custer was indeed his own worst enemy.

Bought a 2023 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone limited edition on the way back to New Mexico via Reno, NV. Left the X300 at a friend's and drove the Guzzi home. Got to love shaft drive.
    Maybe I'll see you before winter. Good luck with everything. Watching you catching grasshoppers is hilarious. But they are good. How did the soap pads work out for you?

    Excellent video. The Rocky Mountain foothills and connecting road to Red Lodge were spectacular. Awe striking area of the country. For me flagging some points of interest on Google Maps during the video adds a dimension to the video. The last short video I watched of yours pertained to your bike. Hopefully, things are straightened out with it. As always I enjoy watching your videos.

    Another Goodie, Joe. I spent the night in Red Lodge about 6 weeks ago on one of my travels. For you fellow riders out there, I stayed at The Yodeler Inn just at the end of town. Great place, highly recommend it - they have rooms that have two separate bedrooms that share a bathroom - pretty cool layout. I wanna say the room was like $135 on a weekday.

    Joe you really should carry a small, telescoping fishing rod/reel with you. Missing out on tons of opportunities of free meals. Quite a lot of your vids usually feature some sort of body of water, you really should make the most of that. Those rod/reels are tiny nowadays. I keep one in my glovebox of my car. Only other things you would need are a small cutting board and a filet knife with a descaler on it. Just a thought.
