Always interesting to read ride reports, thanks for sharing, I've bookmarked your blog on my phone browser.

Also interesting to learn of troubles in McLaughlin, SD. Did the Sheriff give any details on the problems there? I've got a random enough imagination and have seen enough movies to come up with all sorts of smaller town scenarios and possibilities, but it seems you made it through without obvious issues.

Have a good adventure. One nice thing about the internet is that a like-minded community is usually just a mouse click away even when you feel locally isolated.
