Bikers Honor Veterans

We are Patriots. We love America, are devoted
to this land, and align ourselves with others
who share the same sentiment. My husband,
Curt, retired after a 20-year career in the US Navy. His
father, both brothers and my father too, are all Navy
Veterans. Each of them took an oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the United States, against
all enemies, foreign and domestic. This oath is a
promise they must adhere to for the entire time of their
military career. For most, living the oath is part of their
personality and a way of life. They respect our flag and
the country. They also respect all of the other military
personnel who have taken the military oath and served
the United States of America.

The American flag is a living symbol of the nation
our veterans agree to defend. Our flag represents the
country. America has a Flag Code of etiquette, rules
and guidelines how to represent the flag. Title four of the
U.S. Code states that the Pledge of Allegiance should
be rendered while standing at attention, facing the flag,
with the right hand over the heart. It is no wonder there
is a strong disagreement over the decision of some to
take a knee rather than stand.

On Chief Joseph Hwy

RIDE DESTINATION:

Upper Midwest

Our travels this month took us on a lot longer route
than normal. We hadn’t seen my mother in a
while, so we decided to take an extended road trip
- back to Minnesota, the ‘Land of 10,000 Lakes’.

Our adventure didn’t get off to a stellar start. We didn’t
even get out of the state on the first day. Jumping on I80 we
expected a little rain near Truckee and up over the pass, and
sure enough, about 40 miles out of Truckee it started to rain.
A few miles later, the hail came. Luckily it was pea size. For
the next 10 miles or so it went back and forth between rain
and hail. Then near Emigrant Gap, it began to snow. Pulling
into the Shell station and talking to westbound travelers, we
decided to call it a day (it wasn’t going to clear up). So we
checked in to the Sierra Woods Lodge on Laing Road, had a
nice dinner, and would go at it again the next morning.

A beautiful day greeted us and we were back on I80, rolling
on to Wendover, Nevada before stopping for the night. We
stayed at the Peppermill Hotel and Casino. I must say, we
were pretty impressed with the place. It’s very clean, the

Where Is Everybody?

First Day Snow at Emigrant Gap rooms are terrific and a great bargain at $68. We had to
ride through a couple of thunderstorms the next day as we
made our way to Rawlins, Wyoming. We tried to avoid one,
but it was heading dead East and eventually we just had
to go through it. Stayed at a decent Best Western (a little
overpriced.) The bar was cool though.

Goal for the next leg was Sturgis, South Dakota. After
lunch in Gillette, Wyoming we made our way over to the nice
little town of Sundance, the gateway to Devil’s Tower. We
pulled up out front of the Dime Horseshoe Bar and went in
to wet our whistle. This is one of those places, outside of the
immediate Sturgis area, that gets cooking during the rally.

Bike Run at Sickies ND
While hanging out in Sundance, a storm caught up with us
and we rode into the Sturgis Best Western in a pouring rain.
Kinda par for the course the last few days. Breakfast was
at Weimer’s Diner on Main Street the next morning. Really
weird being in town with no bikes around. We walked around
for a while before mounting up to continue our Eastward
trek. I originally wanted to check out the Full Throttle (or
what’s left of it), but had a brain fart and left town instead.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota was our next stop. A real nice
Best Western there and after dinner at Chili’s, we checked
out the 38 Roadhouse. If you’re out this way, it’s an old train
station that has been turned into a biker bar. The place was
busy as a large group of riders had just finished a putt and
were partying out back.

The next afternoon we pulled into my mother’s driveway
and had a kind of mini reunion. She’s getting up there in
age and we spent a week just hanging out and getting some
things done for her. Before we knew it, it was time to head
home. We had had a great time and it was hard to leave, but
we needed to get back on the road.

We took a Northern route home, heading up through

Bike Run at Sickie’s Garage. Good timing! The bagger was
due for an oil change, so the next morning we crossed over
the Missouri River and ended up at Roughrider Harley-
Davidson in Mandan, North Dakota. They jumped right on it
and in less than an hour we were on our way. Thanks guys!

Red Lodge, Montana was the goal for this stretch and we
checked into the Pollard Hotel in the late afternoon. It turned
out to be a perfect riding day. Actually, there had been no
rain since leaving Minnesota. Nice little town. We had a bite
to eat in the restaurant and then kicked it in the lounge for a
while. Since we had lost more than a day and a half because
of the weather, there were only three days left to get back to
the homestead. We had wanted to go up the Beartooth Pass
and down the Chief Joseph Hwy to Cody, Wyoming but that
would have left a couple of long days’ home and no time
to recoup some before getting back to work. So we went
around the mountain via Belfry and SR120, then took the
Chief Joseph Hwy cut-off and began the climb into Cooke
City. Most of this entire trip had some great scenery, but the
route up through Cooke City and then through Yellowstone
was the highlight. Some incredible sights are to be had, for
sure. Just about as good as being up on the Beartooth.

After a quick lunch at the Prospector in Cooke City,
Montana - it was a beautiful putt through Yellowstone. From
there we made our way to Idaho Falls, Idaho for the night.
We closed out our trip with a stay in Winnemucca, Nevada
and then it was on to home. All in all, nine states and 4,169
miles.

We had a great time hanging out with and
learning more about Cal Tire & AutoWorks

admit that we were feeling a bit rusty

inactivity brought on by the pandemic and
the state-wide shutdown. We are proud
to share that Cal Tire & AutoWorks is
celebrating their 5 Year Anniversary at the
same location on East Fremont Street this
year. And by all accounts, they are going
