Cheyenne, WY to Rapid City, SD

Before leaving Cheyenne I dumped my holding tanks, filled my water tank and my fuel tank, then headed towards Rapid City, SD. Somewhere on HWY 85, about 20 miles south of Torrington, WY, chunks of rubber started flying off one of my trailer tires. It took me about 45 minutes on the phone (luckily I had cell phone service) with my road service before they finished getting all my info, including exactly where I was. There wasn't a highway mile marker right in front of me, so I flagged down a passing motorists and got pretty good info as to my exact location. Less than an hour later (I was told it would be at least an hour before the tow truck arrived) the tow truck arrived, the very grumpy driver changed my tire, broke a bolt on my spare tire rack, then sent me on my way with the blown out tire and the spare tire rack in the back of the toy hauler, neatly tucked in next to my Harley. Twenty five minutes later I was at a tire shop getting a new tire on my old rim.

The blown tire caused a bit of damage to my trailer :-(



I finally made it Rapid City, where I'm parked on the street near my friend's condo.

Tuesday morning I'll move to Hart Ranch RV park for three weeks while I enjoy some riding in the Black Hills and other Sturgis Motorcyle Rally activities. :-)
