Murdo, SD to Wall, SD
The ride today was awesome. It was another long one, finishing at 102 miles, but we saw everything in between. The ride was pretty straight forward for the first 55 miles, although we were unlucky with flats, and Cady and Adam both had to change multiple tires. Suddenly, the ride opened up and these amazing hills came out of nowhere. We were in the Badlands, and they were awesome. We made it to the gas station at 60 miles, and waited for everyone. I had a buffalo hot dog, so I can now proudly say that I have eaten buffalo, and it was pretty good. We went into the Badlands Park, and it was amazing, the buttes were amazing, we could climb all over them, and we could see for miles. The ride though the park was 30 miles of amazing views, cool climbing, and tough hills, but we made it through and saw some really funny prairie dogs near the end of the park. This was just the beginning of the day thought, we still had to go to the infamous Wall Drug. This is a famous thing around here, its basically a drug store with free ice water and 5 cent coffee, they advertise all over the place, like every 1/4 mile here in South Dakota, as well as in London, in Time magazine, even on the moon. It was entertaining inside, they had a huge jackalope, a dinosaur, and tons and tons of souvenirs.
