Cactus Flats to Presho, SD 98 miles.
As much as yesterday was a vacation wonderland, today was a slogging workday. My goal was to make it 120 miles to Reliance, but after fighting energy-sapping headwinds on bottom-bashing, speed-sucking chip-sealed roads all day, I threw in the towel 22 miles short of my goal. Still, 98 miles was good progress, and I'm way ahead of where I would have been without Chris' help. If everything works out, I might be out of SD by Friday.
Today wasn't without it's high point, though. We stopped for lunch in Murdo at the Pioneer Auto Museum. This complex was almost as big as the Wall Drug store, but was full of not only antique cars, but bicycles, farm machines, motorcycles, whole schoolhouses & train stations — almost anything old, it was there.
Tomorrow, I'm going to try to knock off half of what's left of South Dakota. That's the goal, anyway.
