Yep! Very interesting blog! I think he is camping out in his tent! No wifi! I'm sure he will be busy doing a write up when he gets back home!

Been enjoying his blog, too.

But the man is having too much fun surviving to post every day. Can't blame him. If I hit a deer in the Bighorns, the keyboard wouldn't be the first I'd reach for

God speed to Shrug on his way home.

The last picture I saw of Hester was parked in front of the Full Throttle in Sturgis! From the map it looks like he is moving again just crossing into Nebraska. I am heading to Sturgis on August 5th. His blog is making me want to hit the road even more!
