Deadwood and the Chicken Fried Steak Tour

[easysuper]

Packed up last night, installed the new to me Comfort seat with a backrest I bought here on Spyderlovers, had to come in and work a half day to make sure my Foreman and PE got everything they need , I have a great Foreman and this is the first time I can take a vacation and not worry about coming back to a mess. This is my last project before I retire and have had a hard time not getting short timers disease. December will be here in no time. We only have reservations at the rally for two days and none on the way there or back but are taking the pop up so we can camp or find a hotel if we want. Looking forward to the next 2 weeks. Going to try to ride Beartooth going there and on the return trip as its one of my favorite rides. My wife and I always try to find the best Chicken fried steak tour to pay homage to one of my rides a friend and I had back in 69 before we left for our all expense paid trip to Asia, he never made it home. So far my all time favorite is a little truck stop on Highway 20 in Burns Oregon, second favorite is a little restaurant in Belvidere Ill. on Highway 20, I heard of a good one in Deadwood so we are always on the search . Looking forward to meeting some new folks and making some new friends at the rally.

Thanks for sharing the story behind your CFS tour -- there are a lot of contenders for best CFS down here in Texas, and of course they're the biggest as well... I'll think of you and your friend the next time I go to the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls.

Have a great trip!

I have to agree that the Bluebonnet Cafe rates pretty high on my list as well. The homemade pies are worth noting as well ..!!!

Sorry you buddy didn't make it back but glad he's still being remembered by you in your travels. It matters. Complete change in direction but why no trailer plate? Not required in Oregon?

That's right, no plates required if under a weight limit

Another basket list item for us in our foodquest. Black Hills will be one of our first "long distance" rides when we get to AR.

Don't miss the Indian Fry Bread and Buffalo Burgers at the Cedar Pass Lodge in the Badlands though. We hit the place three times on our last trip there.

If your buying bling, bling (as in black hills gold or sterling/turquoise jewely) the gift shop next to Cedar Pass Lodge is pricey. Go into Wall and check out the store at the far end of the Wall Drug strip mall (same side of the street). We did real good there.

we left Deadwood yesterday and thought we had found the best CFS at the Gem but we had one last night at The Winchester Steakhouse in Buffalo that has been the best so far. We always split them and this thing was huge! Bigger is not always better in the CFS world, but this one was so tender you cut it with a fork and had great flavor.

Super, didn't you two use to bring the pooch in a cool little trailer? Where's Fido?

We made it home yesterday and I'm picking up all the loose ends that were left for me on my job site today. We had a great ride but it was hot this year again. Our last night was in Walla Walla at 103 when we pulled in to our hotel as it was to hot to camp. When we left in the morning at 7am it was 76 already. We crossed Yellow Stone on our return trip and had some great looks at the wildlife.

Thank you all. You can guess where one of our first trips will be when we get to the lower 48 again.
