July 12, 2008 Rapid City, SD

I became Doug’s adopted son for the day. Doug’s family met up with him last night and will be shadowing the Big Ride for the remainder of the trip. What a great family! We did all of the usual tourist stuff – Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sylvan Lake, Needles Highway, and Custer Park. We finished up with pizza at Hermosa, the same place we stopped at before slugging it out with the monstrous headwinds of yesterday.
