Bob & Patty - a short visit to my Black Hills by some Intrepid Travelers

I've been following Bob and Patty for about six months, these two intrepid souls sold most of what they they owned, save for a few motorcycles, pared down their possessions and began traveling the road via motorcycle.

See this thread for the entire backstory:

Then, after fleeing Mexico, returning to Vermont, and leaving two bikes behind in Mexico for later return, retrieval, and more riding they began touring the good old USA.

I saw that they were headed to my Black Hills, reached out and offered them any assistance they needed.
Bob needed tires and both their bikes required oil changes so we had the stuff shipped here.

We took the opportunity to tour the Black Hills on Thursday and Friday and finished up Friday with the requisite maintenance chores.

It was a great couple of days. They camped in the Spearfish City Park, right by the creek and really enjoyed it, I think they had a great experience.

Bob and Patty are headed to the Rockies, Yellowstone, Red Lodge, Beartooth, Chief Joseph, Grand Tetons next, then down US 191 to a relative's near Salt Lake City, then East to the South end of the Blue Ridge Parkway before riding the length of the BRP and returning to Vermont in late August.

Great folks, if you follow them along the way ( https://advrider.com/f/threads/retired-and-riding-northern-us-tour.1453930/page-3#post-40451528 ) , reach out and lend them a hand if you can.
