So gratefull for everything our men and women in the military do for us! You are always in our thoughts and prayers! Be safe and when you get home it would be great to buy you a beer! I am leaving on the 29th of July going to Yellowstone through Montana down to Sturgis! Looking forward to a great time!

First off, hats off to you for your service!

I'll be making the run from Milwaukee packed to the hilt for camping and anything that mother nature can dish out. Been to Sturgis a few times, seen and done most everything in the area so, this year a couple days in Sturgis then pressing on the Yellowstone, it's only a little further, right? We'll be roughing it, tent style for the two areas, hotels for the road travel. First time to Yellowstone for me, looking forward to it. Should be 3500 miles over the 11 days planned.

Thank you for your service... My son is in the USAF and did a tour in Afghanistan last year. He'll be home on leave in 2 weeks, before he goes to his next base at Hill AFB in Utah.

Our group of seven is leaving upstate NY on Aug 3 and arriving on the 5th.
We rented a 5 bedroom house in Spearfish. All of us are Sturgis virgins...should be quite a trip.

Leaving Illinois on July 27th heading back on Aug 3. Got a cabin in Rapid City for the week.

The beer still tastes the same as bike week. No lines. No traffic. Everything is cheaper.




Stay alert, thank you for your service.

Thanks for your service. Stay strong!

We'll be heading from MN on Aug 3rd and then heading back on Aug 9 or 10. Not sure where we're going to end up this year. Still finalizing plans...
