Quick Update

We made it to South Dakota!  I've got quite a few days in between to fill in but we have got to get on the road.  It was a great surprise to hear that family was in our direct path so the boys were able to see another great aunt, Cord's Aunt Leora.  We stayed with Cord's cousin Jill and his other cousin Julie came over last night.  He hasn't seen them since he was 11 or 12 years old.

We sure can tell that we are getting further west.  We had the most beautiful ride through ranches and fields.  The annoying sweat bees seem to have been left behind.

We will be dropping into Nebraska as we cross the Missouri River.  From there we will ride through the sand hills toward Wyoming.  

The temperatures have been around 70 during the day and in the low 40's at night.  I picked up a fleece blanket to help warm us at night since we will be camping again.  

Sorry for the boring post.  I do have some great stories but it has been 10 days and over 460 miles since our last rest day.  My brain is tired.

  3. Hi Angelika and boys!
    I saw Cord a couple of days ago when I returned your birds. He said he had an amazing time and filled me in a bit on your travels. I'm sure you'll have some incredible stories when you return. I love reading about all of the interesting people you meet along the way. Very inspiring!!
    We'll be in Yellowstone after Labor Day - any chance we'll see you there?
