Sun Dance Ceremony, Oglala, SD.
I planned for this trip for a while. My friends and Lakota adoptive family invite me every year to the Sun Dance ceremony. This year was no different. I went on August 16th for the last few days of the ceremonies. I traveled 800 miles round trip in great wheather and almost no traffic! I only met a few semi's that almost blew me off the road. Thanks heaven my bike is heavy.
A couple of my friends from Oglala, including my adoptive brother Brian, test rode the bike. They loved it, and compared it to the Goldwings and Kawasakis they once used to have when single :-)
The views in Oglala are owesome, but I could not take pictures because I was near the Sun Dance grounds. It is not allowed to photograph or videotape the grounds of the Sun Dance or the ceremonies themselves. However, I took other pictures outside Oglala (below). The roads were so great and enticing that some times I reached 100mph! I hope no cops are reaging this blog:-), but I sloowed down considerably after seeing lots of white tail deer crossing the roads. Not worth the risk.
