Back on line in DeSmet, SD

Well perhaps it was due to the afternoon temps or the hot gusty winds, my iPhone seems to have come back to life.  So the blog will continue.

Today we rode from Miller to DeSmet, a trip of about 80 miles.  Since I was unsure that my iPhone battery would stay charged I took only a few pictures. 

Today was the half way point for those riders doing the entire transcontinental ride. The point was memorialized with some street art. 


The rest of the day was spent riding through corn and soybean fields. Nothing I don't see around home. 

At Huron, our lunch stop, I did see the world's largest pheasant.  When the highlight of the day is an oversized game bird you know you are in eastern South Dakota 




The weather is predicted to be very warm tomorrow.  The route is short and flat so I hope we are off the road early. 

Soon we will be crossing over into Minnesota and Friday will be my last segment with my Cycle America friends. Terry and I plan to camp out at the Hutchinson Maytag Laundromat, Tanning Parlor, and Car Wash to get ready for RAGBRAI and wait to be picked up for the ride to Council Bluffs.
