Harley Dealer at Sturgis

We visited Deadwood, Lead Mine Museum, and Sturgis.


We got another T-shirts at special discount, 25%.
This is the smart way to get some souvenir.

One of staff there has been to Japan and had a small talk with her.
Her husband is a scholar and sometimes he was transferred to Japan as an exchange scholar.

Fishing

We went fishing by canoe.


At first we couldn't get any fish, after we landed an island, we got some fishes.












I caught almost ten Basses, while my son had some troubles about fishing rod, such as tangling...

He was frustrated about what he did himself.










I advised him to cast his fishing rod from here.




At the very last time,
he could a beautiful rainbow trout.
He was happy and relieved to get it.






We went back to our base camp.
Frank taught my son how to clean fish.
Frakn said to my son, "This fish is yours and you have to clean it by yourself. "
My son grabed a knife and tried to cut his fish.

Camping Fire

We had a good time surrounding the fire.

We saw many shooting stars.

No TV games and no complaint by wife made me relaxed.

Dinner at camping site

Craig cooked us wonderful dishes.
I have never seen him washing his hands but he uses the timer to know what time is the best to cook.
My son ate a green papper.
I have never seen him eating a green pappers.
I was surprised to see my boy growing up step by step.
After this experience, my son has tried to cook at home.

"Next time I will do cooking for Craig." he said.

Craig is my son's hero.

Coyote show

We went to the top of the mountain to see sunset.

We were waiting for beautiful sunset.

Frank said to us, " Coyote show!"

When Frank howled like a coyote, many coyotes answered his howl.

Frank said to me, "Try! Your turn."

I imitated his howl, soon forest returned silent.

He said, " Because of your Japanese accent."

Top of the world

We conquered some tops of the mountains.

We were dusty but we were proud of what we could do.

We enjoyed boot camp lunch. It was easy to make, but its tasted delicious .

ATV adventure

We visited Frank and Craig and Jay. They were camping in order to find gold mine at Black Hills.

We had a chance to drive ATVs. It was fun.

Frank has a dream to find a gold mine in the near future.We had driven ATV and dirt bike around the Black Hills.

Frank and Craig and Jay are fast drivers and a rider. It was difficult for me to follow them. To tell the truth, I was thrown away from the ATV and fell from the road. They rescued me using winch. Too exciting.

We found a cave and explored inside.

Can you see how steep we climb by ATVs?
