Found video of your trip to Yellowstone. Looks fun.

Bystander captures baffling video of tourists' audacious actions at national park: 'The entitlement is nauseating'

An Instagram post has gone viral for showing a pair of "tourons" (tourists/morons) flagrantly violating the rules at Yellowstone National Park.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like an awesome trip!

Drove a couple of really cool roads through the Black Hills with single lane tunnels and corkscrew turns.

Missed the corkscrew but Mt Rushmore was pretty damn impressive when we went. If they're doing the night lighting and you can stay for it I'd recommend it.

Dinner stop

Pretty cool place. An amazing selection of burgers, wings, beer, and alcoholic milk shakes.

Great choice Harley!

We will definitely be back in the area and will check the night lighting out.

It is an awesome area with incredible scenery and history. During bike week it’s really crowded so food and lodging are more difficult but it is still possible if you plan ahead.

Some pictures from Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Road in the Black Hills.

For some reason I thought of this when we passed through that Prarie Dog Town.

I almost made a comment about a .300 Win Mag and some fine red mist, but I figured with a lady in the crowd that I would refrain. But seeing this I imagine she can take it.

I helped load the ammo. I can handle it.

The Cody Rodeo was awesome. They have it every night during the summer. Yes, every night. It was a good sized crowd and the attendees were very motivated to be there. Lots of younger people in attendance and participating. There were some participants that were barely as big as their hats!
During the junior Bull Riding a rider who was probably in grade school made a full 8 second ride, then jumped off the bull (steer) and raised his arms in the air in celebration. One of our fellow Nitto Road Trip participants/sponsors who is well known commented: “Kids in Wyoming are just raised differently.” A true statement!

Crappy pictures but I’m sure @Traciehue will save the day.

I have always loved rodeos, been to many, of all sizes and places.

Yup, just another squirrel, in fact, a good sized one. I'd eat it, but I eat all kinds of animals I shoot. MMM, squirrel bbq on the grill, squirrel and dumplins, batter fried, salt and pepper on the grill,,, Mmm
