Ninety miles

Today's mileage made it the longest ride of the trip.  Eastern South Dakota isn't exactly hilly, the winds cooperated most of the day, and the temperature didn't get much over 90, but it was still a long day.  It was great to have a swimming pool at our quarters for tonight.  

We crossed the Missouri River again this morning.  

These guys seemed happy to pose for me.  I thanked them politely, and they went back to grazing.

Hay cutting comes right up to the edge of the road.  I have no idea if this year's crop is particularly good, but we certainly see a lot of these round bales.

As you see, we are not a young group.  The tall man standing next to me is 78.  He is both the oldest rider and the fastest rider.
