Today was only 95 miles but the majority of them were into the 15 plus mph wind on a very rolling landscape. We had 35 miles of a great tailwind while we headed north. There wasn't much excitement to look at today so I kept my concentration by watching and running over the thousands of grasshoppers that were on the road. They were all over and would land on me, hit me in the face(good thing for sunglasses) and even ended up in the chain. After a grueling day we crossed the Missouri River and are camped at a city park along the river. Pierre ( pronounced pier) is the capital of SD and in the central time zone. Since we lost an hour it's now bedtime.
