From Murdo to Fort Thompson, South Dakota

The ride today was 76 miles without much to see except beehives and interesting "rainbow roads" of purples, reds, and jade. It appeared as if the colors in the road must have been the result of stones used from the Badlands.

The winds were strong today, making riding difficult. It threatened to rain all day and finally, after lunch, there was a downpour on our way to our final destination, Ft. Thompson, a Sioux Indian reservation. Two miles before the reservation, the terrain changed as we crossed the Missouri River.
