Spacious Skies and Purple Mountains
Tuesday afternoon, riding out of Sturgis, the road was wide open. It seemed like the adventure was really beginning now. We were covering territory where we had never been and our destination was still 1300 miles away. We had to move right on along to get to Sandpoint, ID by Thursday.
The scenery became more rugged, the Rocky Mountains were on the far horizon - how many miles away were they? “Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain - America, America, God shed His grace on thee.” This was what we were experiencing. This great country is awe inspiring in it’s multitude forms of beauty.
