Vermillion, S.D.

Our second Warm Showers host is an avid cyclist in South Dakota.  Kevin rides his bike throughout the winter!  Now that is dedication!

The whole family came over for dinner and we made some interesting connections.  Laura, Kevin's wife grew up in Leed, S.D.  That is where Cord's mom grew up.   Her grandfather worked in the mine as did Cord's grandfather.  Small world.

The kids had a great time playing together and we had a beautiful day for our ride.  Kevin planned our route and we LOVED it.  It was beautiful and with almost no cars we were able to relax and enjoy it.  

Thanks so much for hosting us!  It was great getting to know you and remember to keep California on your list of vacation possibilities!

  2. Wonderful to catch up on your adventures! If you go through NE Colorado, I have a lot of family there, Ft. Collins, my parents are outside of Grand Junction, etc. Just in case you need anything or a connection! We are trying to get organized and into the schedule again. Drew would more like to be with you in your adventure than here!!!! Laura
