This Thursday, early morning, I will embark on a 2100-mile round trip to Medora, ND and back. At Medora, after 1050 miles in 2 days, I will dismount the SG and take a 40 mile, 3 day backpacking trip in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I'm really looking forward to this park; there are buffalo, bighorn sheep and wild horse herds, petrified trees, and should be some spectacular scenery. Then, it's back on my SG for the return trip to northern IL. I'm realllllly stoked for this one; it'll be my first big moto trip
