We looked at our itinerary for Monday, August 4th, 2003, and took note of a booking at the big
motorcycle rally in Sturgis, which routinely draws 450 to 500 THOUSAND
bikers from around the world (we've played this particular gig many times before). Since this year is
Harley Davidson's 100th anniversary, we thought that this would be a good opportunity
to document a "typical" day on the road. Let's take our itinerary for the day section by
section and check out what a "Day with the Wolf" is like:
