    *****LOL don't think I would be in the middle of Moma & baby like that ************
    Yeah, it was by accident I got between the two ~ I went to leave and the calf had crossed the road and away from Momma...
    When I got between them, Momma turned and I got the Hey outta there...
    I was never OFF the Bike, I had an escape!!!
    When I had got to the top of the next hill, around another curve, the rest of the herd were crossing the road, Rangers watching over them assuring safe crossing by stopping the traffic...
    Many Bikers were up on the hill when I got here, I kept riding on to Needles Highway...
    I think I mightta just started another Craving fer a return to those Black Hills,

    Well, I sat down with a calculator this morning and found out I pretty well stayed within the scope of expense for this Sturgis Run...
    I reckon I done fairly good at NOT overspending, I had just guessed at the total cost as a target...<<<BullsEye!!!>>>
    For a trip I`ve been wanting to take since I was a young`un, it is NOW memory and WELL WORTH every penny!!!

    "The Wall" is on our list too...
    I`m sure that will be worth it also!!!
    I do get to escort the "traveling Wall" when it`s in the SW GA area, and I hear of it in time...
    I`m VERY GRATEFUL to those who gave their ALL!!!
    I`m glad your trip went well and worth every penny,
    Dennis
