This sounds/looks like Mikes route. Looks good.

When KawaNOW met in Custer, the family and I visited Rushmore for the lighting ceremony at dusk after the day's ride. The program of retiring the Colors was worth the return trip for sure.

Noel mentioned that and I plan on going. I hope other will. He also said there’s a good restaurant if we’d like to eat dinner while we’re there.

There are two things I didn't get to do in 2009.... one was ride the Badlands and the other was seeing the lighting ceremony at Mt. Rushmore. Sounds like a done deal to me.

I am going to state the obvious. For those of you who are going to the night light program at Mt. Rush, look out for deer. Lots and lots of them at night.

A very valid concern. However, because right now everything is so green the deer are not congregating by the roads as much. Also, we will have a car in Custer and we plan for my wife to drive lead coming back from the monument.

Looks like there is some construction on Hwy 385 between Deadwood and Hill City this will make things interesting. Also anyone crossing South Dakota on state Hwy 44 will encounter some construction in eastern South Dakota.

I rode 385 on Wednesday. It goes to single lane for a few miles and is ground down to be resurfaced. Worst case would be about a ten minute delay. Really not a concern.

Cindy and I went to the lighting ceremony at Rushmore when we attended the rally out there. It was fun, they had a Park Ranger doing commentary, even had vets in the audience come down to stage for recognition.

I don't know if anyone has seen the weather for next week? Looks like mid 60s for highs mid to high 40s for lows!

**BudMan** · 06-16-2018, 10:06 PM

Yep. We’ve seen them.

Mid sixties is great riding weather! So are mid 40's, 50's, 70's, and 80's. 30's too if its been a while.

**Sabre-t** · 06-16-2018, 11:13 PM

I arrived today. Nice and cool 67. What a relief after 4 days of riding in heat! Could have highs as low as 55 a couple of days.
