Pulled into Sturgis this evening. Damn that got hot coming across the Dakotas.
Not sure how you guys are doing it in temps over 100. We spent 3-4 hours in the high 90's to 100 and damn I'm done with that shit, lol.
We're leaving early in the morning to get through the rest of SD before it gets too damn hit again.
C ya's tomorrow night

Kim says, ' Holy crap they can keep those temps. Had a hard enough time at 100 '
Damn
In Pagosa Springs tonight. Less heat but I'm still pouring water over myself and using a cooling towel. A little bit of rain though it was close including lightening. Great drive through Glen Canyon! See many of you tomorrow!
Well dam long day ! Up at 5:00 am, found some loose wires, thank god for duct tape temporary miracle fix. Our brand new ( 3 month old) Garmon Zumo GPS , has a mind if it own. Correct most of the time, stubborn as shit when you don't follow it and my mounted charger has stopped working. Thank go I had some trip tik packs made up at AMA before we left been super useful.
Okay back to today left Great Falls bright n early, travelling to Beartooth Pass, fun, elevated twisty road, that part was fun. Getting stuck in two construction zones, one at a a stand still for over 1/2 an hour, then getting construction spray shit all over sucks ass, did a quick clean of the spring, hoping to get trailer tomorrow. We also got stuck behind a rockslide clean up crew and got to experience rain in the Sling ! All that now I'm not sure if I got a new noise in the rear end or am just getting paranoid! Lots of miles and hours today, biggest and longest so far in Sling. After 11 plus hours hours, we get to our destination in Cody, check in and all I want is to sit down and have a single ice cold beer. So we unpack and head down the main strip. Checking out pubs to get into. Parking is at a premium, I stop one, enough room but built for a awkward drive in between motorcycle and SUV
What happen next is I'm to upset to even say, ♂️choice words were not spoken! So upset we went for quick supper and now back at motel, gave Sling a quick wash n rinse, and I think I'll cry my self to sleep. ( don't ask just yet, still to raw and emotional)
Safe travels to all tomorrow, I'm meeting my brother in Casper Wyoming for lunch then off to Cheyenne for the night, and the heading for the Beaver Wednesday.
PS, had lots of people stop and take pics and ask questions, all cool, all part of ownership. One kinda surprised me today, " do you steer with your front wheels of back wheel? Good this I was wearing glasses when I enlightened him.
Putting box of Kleenex by bed and going to sleep now
We did meet with @slolane and his wife last night at a fabulous place to eat in Moab. What a great couple! Yesterday's temps for us ranged from 51 degrees in silverton co with hail and rain to 103 coming across to Moab... fantastic! See y'all tomorrow. Arches National Park today.

There will be a caravan of folks from Colorado Springs heading up there tomorrow. We will be up there around 1pm if all goes well.
Things are beautiful in Avon/Beaver Creek right now. This was a couple of days ago at Nottingham Lake, right in the heart of Avon.
I drove by Avon yesterday. The Slingshot Only rig was on sight already. 
FML!!!

actually, I think she is. She knows how much I was looking forward to it. Lots of planning went into this, but, they'll be other trips. Onward!
Glad to hear it is work related! Oh, and I have arrived in Avon!
