Day 21 - Rapid City, SD to Kadoka, SD

Badlands National Park


















Buffalo Gap National Grassland - borders Badlands



103.36 miles
13.5 mph

I was really tired today!! My rest day did not give me enough rest at all. This was a hard day for me! It was beautiful though!!! We rode through Badlands National Park which was amazing! I took lots of pictures. This morning we got our first rain, but it didn't last long at all. We heard thunder off in the distance but it never quite got to us. We had a very strong crosswind that later in the day became a headwind, making the day even more tiring. Kadoka, SD is a small town with a self appointed mayor who lent us his car to go to dinner. Very nice guy! We camped in the town park and could use the town pool. Dinner was at the Best Western restaurant.
