Exploring Hot Springs

Hi all,

My brother Doug is up for a visit and we spent one day last weekend cruising around Hot Springs, SD. Here are some pics:

Black Hills Redux

Hi all,

Been doing some mountain bike riding here in the Black Hills the past couple of weeks. First pic is of me at the trailhead to Old Baldy Trail, in the northern "HIlls." I took it after the ride, when I was pretty well spent. My brohter and I hiked this trail about 6 years ago and thought it quite tame. I found it quite hard on a bike, this time around, what with all the rocks in the way and everything.




I don't know what to say about this one. It's a self portrait taken whilst riding the bike up a side canyon on the outskirts of Hot Springs, in the southern "Hills." Looks like I've just seen a ghost, or maybe a grizzly!




Don't know much else at the present.

Cheers,
Mike
