Sturgis Day 8, 8/4/09

John, Garth and I went to Gabi's for breakfast, then headed to Ellsworth AFB for the Thunder Run. We were a little too late to get the bikes in line for the photo op in front of a B1, and to see the fire/rescue trucks and the bomb disposal robot, but I got a few pics.


On this year's Thunder Run we got to ride out onto the runway then head through the base and out onto the highway. This ride like all the others, ended in Sturgis. The Air Force arranged a B1 Fly over of Main street. We couldn't hear it coming, but it was loud going away from us. Very Cool! After the ride, John nabbed a large banner from the refreshment tent and took it directly across the parking lot to the Post Office and mailed it home. Gabi stayed behind in Sturgis with some friends, they were going to a concert later that night. John, Garth and I went to Rapid City to pick up Terresah. We went to dinner at Millstone. After dinner we rode to Terresah's and sat and visited with her neighbor, Joe and his wife. A nice heavy rain passed over us and cooled off the temps. We didn't get back to Wyatt's Hideaway until midnight.
