Wind and rain on the Prairie

Fort Thompson to Presho

First stop today was the Missouri River!

We crossed a dam and it's a lake just west of Fort Thompson

Lake Sharpe

Missouri River

Another stunning day in South Dakota

The hills across the river

Here we go! Looks like there might be some weather moving in.

We rode through this huge swampy area.

Little shore birds were flying all around us. Tried to get a picture of them in the water.

Rain to the north of us.

It blew right over us.

Amazing watching the storms moving across the sky

We rode right through it all

Beautiful

We stopped in Kennebrec at the gas station. This fellow looks like he is heading for Sturgis. The rally starts this weekend but we are already seeing motorcycle groups heading that way.

Rode right out of the storm

climbed 1800 feet today

Rode into downtown Presho and the Main street is all torn up. We figured out how to get to the local grocery store

Kate and Judy were so nice at the store and it had everything we needed.

In front of the grocery

I don't know how these businesses survive with the road all torn up! The gals say they are 30 days behind because of all the rain this year.

Scott checked us in to Hutch Motel. Gus on the left and Lucy on the right are his assistants. The whole family was in cleaning rooms and making beds. He grabbed our laundry and is washing it for us!

Big cozy room for tonight!

Today's ride: 46 miles (74 km)
Total: 10,494 miles (16,888 km)
