This past Thursday I returned from a 2 week road trip traveling through the Dakotas. My orgin was NE Texas. I left on a Saturday and stopped in Hatings, NE. On Sunday, June 5th, I had made my way into southern North Dakota. I was traveling on a FM road and was passing an 18-wheeler. As I am passing the 18-wheeler it sounds like it was engaging the engine brakes. I think to myself, "Great, he is slowing down to let me pass". After I passed him I continued to hear the sound. Odd. Now I am thinking that something is wrong with my truck. Quickly check all of the gauges, I do not feel an vibration nor loss of power. The sound is coming from the right front of my truck. All of a sudden I see my bug deflector on the front of my hood flapping around. About 18" of it had worked itself loose from the double-sided tape. So I pull over and have to pry the bug deflector off of my truck in the rain and in the middle of BFE.
On June 7th, while still on the trip, someone opens their door and puts a 2" deep, dark scratch, on my passenger side door. My truck is white so it is really noticeable.
On June 14th, while still on the trip, I pull over on the side of the road to take a business call. WHile on the shoulder a series of vehicles pass by. One of them throws up a rock and takes out my rear window.
On a positive note; Theodore Roosevelt NP is awesome. As is the Badlands NP, the Black Hills and Custer State Park.
I managed to avoid softball sized hail while I was up there too.
