Fri,July 30.
Started at 5am to get a good push that was needed, 1 and a half hrs and was out of Minn. despite heavy rain and into South Dakota. Meet some warm souls in SD and 4 hrs of straight road found myself with clear skies and at the gates of the Badlands. They don't disappoint. I have a hard time with words describing this beyond your imagination region. I took many photos and video with Bills and Toms helmet cams, thanks guys. Could not ride thru just once and doubled back and the view was totally different in the other direction. Heading out of the Badlands on SD44 which is called the badlands south was a ball with lots of swithbacks and a million suicidal locusts and 112 degree temp. Did not realize I was so enthralled with the views that I had not eaten in 11hrs. A hot and desolute ride to Rapid City were Kim finally got a hold of me and said we better get you a room because I was way behind. And last, went to Mt Rushmore 2 nite to see them get lit up, which drew approx.3000 people.
