I always worry when the boys are on a motorcycle trip, though I understand the joy and freedom they enjoy on their rides.
Early yesterday afternoon, we decided to cut through Custer State Park, on our way to Mount Rushmore. We were only a short way up the hill when we were stopped by a park ranger standing beside a motorcycle in the ditch on our right, not far ahead of us. Another bike was parked on the left shoulder, but neither rider was anywhere in sight.
Traffic backed up behind our vehicle and a Custer ambulance soon sped by, its siren breaking the silence of the park. Bob turned the Vette around in the narrow road and we drove quietly to Rapid City, deciding to find our hotel for the night before any afternoon activities.
I don't know the outcome, but I do remember a fateful October afternoon 30 years ago when Bob and I were the passengers in such an ambulance. I may tell that story next month. I have no pictures of today's accident scene.
Bad, sad day for at least two more families.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's very bad when you get in an accident! I like ride a motorcycle and I always try to go carefully. Even when I was on vacation in Thailand, I managed to rent scooter chiang mai https://catmotors.net/bangkok-chiang-mai-better-train-bus-flight/. There roads are very dangerous with very steep slopes. Therefore, in that area I was very careful. But thank God, everything was fine, and I was completely satisfied with my rest in Chiang Mai!
