Day: August 11, 2008

we found another tourist town. We are eating in an old train car. there was a lady paid to stand at gas station and tell people about the specials. May have been an old set for dances with wolves. Barely avoided a big storm last night. It’s been windy in the wrong direction, but We’re about to turn, so it should get better. Probably be in pierre tonight. I’m told It’s peer in south dakotan.

rolled into pierre last night. Had a super tailwind while we were going north, then turned the corner into a cross wind. Broke the cardinal rule last night, and ate dinner in the tent because the mosquitos were so bad. thinking about getting full body mosquito net. We’re still drying out from the thunder storm last night. i got scolded for riding to the laundromat in flip flops. Should be in minnesota the day after tomorrow. – megan

that’s right, we just avoided a nasty storm
