These are pictures from the last 2 days, thank goodness this computer works better.
The 1st picture is when we were descending into Chamberlain. That span of bridge is now closed and under repair.
The 2nd picture is of the worlds only Corn Palace. They decorate the entire outside using corn and husks. The corn used is grown within a 30 mile radius and the corn is grown specifically for that purpose. Each year they have a different theme for their pictures on the outside. They were not completely done with yet. This is what we have ridden over 1900 miles to see. Can life get any better than that!
Today was only a 70 mile ride, pushed the last part pretty good and had a fun time. Once we reached Mitchell and were on our way to the Corn Palace Ken Mengel, one of the fellows I came out with, decided to take a dive off his bike. He got stuck in a seam between 2 pieces of concrete on the road and went down hard. He hit his head on the sidewalk and rolled into the grass. Two guys came running out and asked if we wanted to call 911, we said no he should be fine.(which we did not know at the time). Luckily he only bruised his hip and a few minor scrapes. Nothing at all was damaged on the bike. He was very lucky and at 1st we were all concerned thinking that maybe he could have broken his collarbone, etc.
Tomorrow will be our last day of riding in SD, a day off, and then into Minnesota. The weather has been absolutely unbelievable, we must be living right.
