Easy Day

The trip from Rapid City to Interior , a burg of less than 100 people, was some 80 miles but with a tail wind the day was a delight.  Interior, SD, is right on the doorsteps of the Badlands, an area that is most certainly appropriately named.  The place resembles a moonscape.

One highlight was our lunch stop.  The "town" of Scenic, SD, is at best a Ghost town. The buildings look like they were lifted from Hollywood movie set.

Just like Aladdin, Wy, the town, the whole town, is for sale. 

If you look very closely,  you can read some of the vintage signs. 

The wind at our backs allowed an average speed of more than 18 mph.  A personal best. 

Our group will more than double the population this evening.  The weather continues to treat us well with temps in the mid 90s but humidity at 10%.  I will want to remember this when I return to the Midwest in a few weeks.

Can't wait to see what the stars look like in this land devoid of light pollution. 

Tomorrow into the heart of the Badlands.
