Back in the Black Hills

And right in the middle of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Actually, it wasn’t too bad getting here. On the interstate, I could see what appeared to be an exodus of motorcycles and vehicles towing motorcycles going east, I’m not sure why everyone seems to be leaving early but it is OK with me. I drove through Custer State Park and the town of Custer with no problems. Shortly after arriving at my campsite and getting setup, I notice the truck had another flat tire. I’m sure getting tired of those. I have had more flat tires in the last two years than I usually get in ten years. I got the spare on and will find a place to fix the flat when I go to town.

Summer form of the Eastern Comma, on Farm Island, last week.
Male Band-winged Meadowhawk. There were dozens of these around my folks place near Pierre while I was there.
This is a female Band-winged Meadowhawk.
