Watching Old Faithful with Fang at Yellowstone National Park:

With Fang at Mt. Rushmore, and Posing for the Fifth Head Next to Lincoln ("Nice T-Shirt." The bikes are cool; it's the riders who can be uncool) (P.S. Mt. Rushmore was a highlight of the trip!):

Saw a Hell of a Lot More of These on the Highway than FJRs:

But Mostly Saw This Sight:

Did Actually See a Few of These. This One was Near U. Minn. on Friday the 31st. Also Saw One (Same One?) Near Home Depot on Monday. And There Was This Sighting.

Someone Said in My Trip Post About the Garmin that "The Bitch Lies." We Thought Lunch at Papa Bears Sounded Like a Good Road Food Option, Till We Got There (Thanks for Nothing, Sheila!):

After Searching Without Luck All Over the U. Minn. Campus for the Physics Building, We Finally Gave Up and Sat Down to Rest Our Tired Dogs:

On The Way Home Fang Realized We Were Passing Right By Where Our Nephew was Serving in the Air Force (Omaha), so we Stopped in to Say Hi and Meet his Girlfriend:

The Great Salt Pond (the Lake Was Farther East):

Did you have a chance to see the Radman?
A real big, unfortunate miss there, Don. I didn't know he worked there till after I posted my original thread. He and other local riders responded and invited me to get together, but as soon as I posted the report from the motel, we moved into our son's apartment the next day and had no Internet. I was in the dark till I got back on line after leaving town. Very sorry to have missed them. But I will go back to see my son and not make that mistake again.

 
Glad to see you finaly made it to that big rock B)

Thanks for posting up your pics!

I hope your son gets the most out of his time in college. Ah, college... What a blur those 4 years were, in retrospect... <_<

And thanks to your nephew for serving! :thumbsup:
