We logged 36 long hot miles today. We started off our morning with Mr. Simek taking us out for a great breakfast. We hadn't gone too far and our axel broke again about 10 miles from Wagner S.D. We were able to use the spare axel that Mr. Munson, the Nascar Man, had given us. Even though we didn't have the proper tools we were able to make it work. When we got to Wagner we bought a couple spare bolts at a hardware store so that we can wait for the replacement bolts from a bike shop. We went to the grocery store to get our lunch and a group of high school cheerleaders came up to us to ask for our autographs. They were holding a car wash down the road and heard that we were in town. After that boost to our ego we set out to face the intense heat once again. The thermometer on the bank read 98 degrees.
Tonight we are close to Lake Andes in an RV park. A couple of the families here were nice enough to invite us to supper and provided us with venison/pork brats, hamburgers and grilled chicken. They also let us take showers in their RV's.
Tomorrow we hope to get a good start so that we can get to Geddes, about 12 or 13 miles out, and find a church to go to. Even with the heat the mosquitos are really bad tonight and they have found their way into our tent so hopefully they won't bother us too much.
