Sitting in The Rusty Saloon with Kevin having a night
cap after putting 353 miles on today. Time on bikes was 7 hours and 23
minutes. Temperature starting out this morning was 56 and it made it up
to 76. From tank tops to leathers.
We rode
the Lewis and Clark trail following the Missouri River into Pierre,
SD. The thousand of acres of sun flowers was amazing! I told Kevin I
could move out there and be a sun flower farmer, it was that beautiful.
After
dinner in Pierre we jumped on 83 and thought it would be neat to drive
through The Grasslands. NOT! Super boring! It was just like driving
through 50-60 miles of hay fields that needed to be cut. Zzzzzzz.
Today
we were able to pick up on our "Guess the Population" game. (Iowa was a
bust since they don't list population on their signs.). The object of
the game is to guess the Population of the upcoming town before the sign
that gives the answer. We base our answers on number of water towers
visible, if any , etc. So far I'm winning 3 to 1 with hitting the
number dead on. Another game is "Name That Poop" based on smell before
we get to the source. Again, I'm winning since I was able to identify
chicken, cow, and pig poop - in one sniff. Not so sure that's a
positive thing......
After dead ending on 83
to a gravel road of 21 miles, and turning back around, we hit I90 (rule
breaker) and found another mom and pop motel in Murdo, SD. We wanted to
camp tonight but no luck on campgrounds with a shower house, which is a
must. Hopefully tomorrow! Perfect camping weather!
Tomorrow going through Sturgis and hitting Mt. Rushmore. Then, who knows! Until tomorrow!
