Farewell Tour

As I prepared to leave North Dakota for my semester of study here at the seminary, I decided to take one last motorcycle ride. From the 14th through the 18th of August, I toured half the state on my motorcycle.

First I visited Melanie, Mark, and Shannea in Halliday. Jesse and Cheryl also met us there for the weekend.

While there, we toured Mark's ranch land and checked on his cattle. Number 10 is especially friendly. I'm sure she'll taste especially friendly, too. (Sorry, Melanie)

Then I continued on my way, riding the scenic and curvy road through the Killdeer Mountains.

I crossed the lake on the newly constructed Four Bears Bridge near New Town.

Next I rode northward toward Burlington, where I stopped for a while and visited Grandma, Oreo, and Kitty (Kitty didn't make the picture).

Finally, I rode home to Bottineau and visited my parents (and their cats... silly, but I never took a picture of the parents). After a brief stay at home, I took the bike back to Mandan and began the long drive to St. Louis.
