On June 20, Bev, Raymond and his wife Donna and I left on a 3,400 mile journey across 7 states to attend the Black Hills Rendevous which was a part of the Vulcan Riders and Owners Club annual gathering.

The event was scheduled to take place in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the town of Custer.


The first day we left from Moorpark California and the ride was planned to take us through Las Vegas and into Cedar City Utah for the first night.

Like most drives to Las Vegas, traffic was an issue- we had a 45 minute delay when  an overturned truck shut down the 15 freeway.
