Theodore Roosevelt national park. It's like the tail of the Dragon ride. Most fun I've had with my slingshot since I bought it. 15 bucks for a week pass for a motorcycle. There's buffalo and wild horses. But the twists and turns so much fun. Got some video I will try post later. If your ever in North Dakota it's a must do. It was so much fun were going for another loop later today.

The painted canyon

almost forgot here's what we looked like after 13 hours in the sun yesterday. And we're even more red after today. Have to shellac on some sun screen. Lol We're both sore but it's gonna take more than that to stop us having fun.

This is an awesome thread @Slingshot Garage! You are an excellent storyteller and then the comments from the peanut gallery are hilarious ( @Tripod )
You are a very cool dude with what sounds like an amazing family. Like others have said, thanks for including us in the journey!
And wow @SundreSlingQueen, I'm going to get my wife to start smoking, then try to get her to quit! Need $$$ for MODS!!!

on so we made it to the states around lunch yay! Our first stop was Havre then to Malta, Medora and we finally stoped in Dickinson. 13 hours straight 1282 km or 796 miles quite a stint was a blast we have the funniest sunburned faces I'll take a pic tomorrow. I had to use my phone for GPS which killed it otherwise I would've posted sooner. We did get pulled over by two cop cars and issued a warning for going 8 over. I told him it was in kms per hour he was understanding. Lol didnt tell him i switched it to mph right after I crossed the border Pretty sure they just wanted to check out the sling. Super nice guys. Got to check out 80 mph speed limit so cool. We're going back to medora tomorrow to check out out some stuff will post pics after. Have a bit of time to fool around now that we're half way to alpha. Don't have to be there till Monday. Weather wise we couldn't have asked for a better day. And absolutely no issues with the slingshot what so ever. Now she's parked out front the hotel with the cover on sleeping.
Glad you only received a warning!800 miles in 13 hours is hauling the mail considering you have stop for fuel every 200 miles.

Thank you so much. That means more to me than you'll ever know. See my son and I are both autistic. So we're both socially awkward and don't have any friends. We both have serious day to day struggles. For me the forum has been a great for me because here I have friends and we have common interests. Plus here autism doesn't come into play. If we hung out it wouldn't take u long to figure out something isn't quite right. I was always terrified to post anything anywhere. Have to give a huge thank you to @Tripod because of him I felt welcome and got me going posting stuff. Which is something I would never do. So the forum has been an awesome thing for me giving me positivity and making me feel like I'm included. So really any of you who like or follow anything I'm doing makes me feel wonderful and I honestly love each and every one of you. All of you have been the best thing that's happened to me in a long time.

One thing I can add to that is trust. I only tell people I think I can trust. People are too quick to pass judgement. It's happened to me My whole life. Caused me a lot of pain. So since I've now told you shows where forum members stand to me. I trust you guys it's a great group of people with big hearts.
Have a few video's from today just waiting for them to upload and I'll post them later. -
My wife is an Occupational Therapist, so I'm somewhat familiar with autism, plus at my school we have an autism class and those kids are the best!
I try to make sure they are included in as much as possible (what they and their parents are comfortable with). There are varying degrees (spectrum, etc), and we have nonverbal all the way to high functioning. I enjoy visiting the class and having them share with me.
Just be yourself! We are all different in our own ways (I myself live with vitiligo and trust me, being self-conscious is something I grew up with, along with bullying), but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

As promised here's a couple vids of Theodore Roosevelt park
