Day 10 Friday

The most exciting thing happened today. It happened back home in Portland. Our daughter, Jensen, finished her training and passed her FAA exam to become a private pilot! We are SO PROUD!


honorable mention:
We were stuck in road construction in the middle of nowhere on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 100 degree heat. Just Dan and me and the friendly flagger lady, a Lakota Indian. She said it would be a 20 minute wait. Up behind us pulled a truck, with a man a woman and five kids under 10. They were towing a trailer with four horses and headed to a rodeo. The man, also a Lakota, was the hero of the day! He hopped out of his truck in the blink of an eye and pulled cold sodas out of a cooler for me and Dan and the flagger lady. What a sweetheart! The kids were so interested in our motorcycles and I was so interested in their horses. We had fun in the heat for 20 minutes!

Oh, and I also need to mention....for those of you who are appalled at the fact that Dan holds the video camera up while riding on his bike at 60mph....you will be happy to hear that while in Sturgis, we were approached by two fellows who were selling sun glasses with built in video camera! How cool is that?? Tomorrow I will try to download some of his video (although tomorrow we go through Omaha and I don't know how much scenery there will be)
