July 16, 2008 Miller to De Smet, SD 77 miles (79)

Ugh…morning already! Actually in spite of last night’s celebration everyone seems ready to go. Like yesterday the scenery was not inspiring but the level terrain made biking, especially with others, fun. Road construction through the town of Wosley presented a challenge. Brendan, on his mountain bike, found the gravel and rough road to his liking. Bob, Brendan, Tony, Patty, DeWayne and I stopped in Huron for and early lunch – we never seem to stop eating! By the way, Huron marks the halfway point of our journey ONLY 1,650 MORE MILES TO PEDAL!

Arriving in De Smet, home of the Laura Ingalls Wilder homestead, we set up camp in the nicest town park imaginable, shady, clean bathrooms complete with showers, and electricity. As an added bonus it is only a short walk to the Dairy Queen which also has wireless access!
