Since we didn't get a picture of the Colorado sign when we came into the state, we took a picture as we were leaving...
and another picture of us entering Wyoming...
This was a long day, 400+ miles to our destination (Sturgis, SD). We skirted rain all morning and finally, in the early afternoon, we rode through a small storm. It cleared off and looked like it was going to be nice...
We stopped in Lusk, WY for gas and food. The truck stop diner, The Outpost, was the best diner in 50 miles (since in was the only diner in 50 miles). We had a paddy melt, fries and, of course, a milk shake... not. The Outpost doesn't make milk shakes so I had to settle for a piece of homemade chocolate peanut butter pie. When we went outside, after our meal, things did not look very good. Black clouds to the west and north meant we were going to ride through another storm. The road from Lusk, WY to Sturgis, SD was a great ride but the weather was very trying. Rain, wind and dark clouds met us about 10 miles out of Lusk and stayed with us till Newcastle, WY. We arrived at the South Dakota line just before dusk, still about 70 miles from Sturgis, SD.
We rode on into Sturgis and arrived about 10pm. Wet, worn and weary but excited about the experiences we were enjoying.
