Well,no pictures are coming up for some reason. I actually purchased a digital converter drive so I could download more recent pictures and it isn't letting me do it. Today we went from Pierre to Chamberlain, SD. It sounds funny, but we only went 84 miles today. We saw more of the same bales of hay, cattle, and we added something new-corn. Had a rest stop at a little store, that had a little bit of everything, it was sort of in the middle of nowhere.
There were 2 really good climbs today that I really enjoyed, the last one was right before we came into Chamberlain. It finished off with a nice downhill into town. Of course, if we had a downhill into town then tomorrow we have an uphill out of town. Chamberlain is a small little town,not to much to it. There is one store that is like a dollar store with verizon wireless and Radio Shack all in one.
Tomorrow we go to the city of Mitchell which is known for the world famous Corn Palace. It must be world famous because I have never heard of it. I will take some pictures and hopefully I will be able to download those so you can see it for yourself.
Well today was the day, we are now officially half way, so everything is downhill from here. Soon I will be living a real life again instead of just biking, eating, and sleeping. I guess all good things must come to end sometime. Although, the best thing about being done is that I will finally be able to see my family, I have never been away for this long. I get to see Sue, Katie, and hopefully Sarah( if she can get off the farm) in Portsmouth, NH.

  1. Greetings Tom,
    Spoke to Sue today, we had been to the Adirondacks and Canada and found your post card with our mail. Congrats on making it half way and best wishes for the second half.
    We've been to Wall Drug, the Corn Palace, Mt. Rushmore and many of the other places you've seen ... but we drove !!
    Sounds like a great adventure. Look forward to seeing you when you get home.
    Dick and Pat Williams
