No Roads Lead to Milbank
Sometimes the destination is more important than the ride. Follow me on an epic motorcycle ride from Reno, NV to visit the one, the only, town of Milbank, South Dakota. This fully documented ride will start on June 6th, 2017 and last through June 16th, 2017. You will have the opportunity to follow along via GPS tracking, read daily posts, see pictures and videos along the way, and most importantly to contribute to the MIlbank, SD High School -- Go Bulldogs!

EPILOGUE -- The end of the No Roads Lead to Milbank quest, but the Endowment mission continues.
I hope everyone has enjoyed the No Roads to Milbank quest. The last 10 days have generated much-needed resources and visibility for the Milbank School Endowment fund. This endowment supports the City of Milbank in providing programs that are no longer funded and providing resources to develop our most-valued assets - children.
This has been one small event of many we see everyday for every cause imaginable. If you followed along, if you spread the word, if you donated, you chose to participate and that is what is required -- people willing to help.
