Tour de South Dakota

Hey everyone.
Were nearly out of the Dakotas now (finally), and growing ever closer to an exciting string of cities in the midwest. (wow, i never thought id be so excited to be in the midwest.) Highlights from the Dakotas: a large number of bird sized mosquitos, more roadkill than i could ever imagine, and lots and lots of grass. Weve been keeping eachother entertained by yelling at cows and starting stampedes, and playing a lot of this game called Botacelli or something. Its pretty fun. Besides the obvious motivation to get out of the grasslands, our progress has been amped up by watching the tour de france at sports bars, a killer 20 mph tail wind (3 days now!!!), and what my mom would call an "unhealthy" amount of caffeine. Dont worry, were keeping it reasonable...they wouldnt make triple stregnth rockstars if we couldnt handle em.

So, everything is going along just swimmingly. Were still eating about 3000 calories a day, check out the monster stack of pancakes tall man put down this morning. Despite crashing about twice a day on average, chuck remains uninjured and in high spirits.

If anyone we have met along the way is reading this post, id like to say Thanks for the free meat! seriously, every tom, dick and tina we meet hooks us up with some deer jerky or something from last seasons kill. Totally awesome.

The trip rules, and i look forward to seeing everyone back home again and resuming, if only for a few days, the relaxing lifestyle of the summer. peace out - beau
