We left Rapid City and entered the countryside of beautiful farmland, much of which contained mega-bales of cylindrical hay, ready for transport. A beautiful blue sky showed no sign of thunder boomers, and we rolled continually up and down over many hills on our way to Wall.
Our one "SAG" stop to refill water bottles and have a snack was in New Underwood, site of Steve's Super Store and the World's Smallest Biker Bar. I was strategically placed in the picture below to change the sign's meaning to match my stature. (Don't forget that even a mouse can make a lion roar, however).
Following the rollers, we spent 20 miles along the shoulder of Interstate 90, upon which I'm told we could stay on this highway and find ourselves in Boston. Exiting at Wall, however, afforded us the chance to stay at the home of Wall Drug. See if you can find Don in the billboard below. We were THAT excited to be here!
Spending an hour or so exploring all the many rooms, including the Book Room, Jewelry Room, Cafe, Pharmacy, Timeless Chapel, and Cowboy Store, we leave you with our last photo of the day, in downtown Wall.
Tomorrow will be one of our more challenging days. At 117 miles and the unpredictability of the ever-present winds + chance of thunderstorms, we will spend a long day on the road to Pierre, SD. We depart on our bikes for breakfast & the road at 5:15 am. Signing off for today.
Writing to you from St. Petersburg, Russia, it's fun to see that you spent time at Mount Rushmore and the FAMOUS Wall Drug, both stops that Bill and I made on our cross-country automobile drive. Have you heard of that new invention -- the automobile?? Perhaps you might try it some time. And P.S. right next to our hotel in Copenhagen was a TESLA showroom! Your influence is everywhere. Continue good luck with the bike ride. We remain in awe of you both! Love,Carol
