As we mentioned in yesterday's post, last night we camped out next to a motel. This morning we started our day by having a good breakfast at a restaurant in White River. We enjoyed pancakes, donuts, and orange juice before hitting the road.

Like much of the country, South Dakota was very hot today. This was a tough day; the heat combined with the endless miles of grasslands is wearing on us. This area is hilly and not very populated. After Brandon and I left White River this morning, we saw no stores and very few houses. Needing some shade, during one of our rest stops today we rested by a bale of hay. We traveled 39 miles and saw only about 10 houses that were close to the road. There were very few people and very few cars.

We are getting into the Badlands and don't expect much change for a couple of days.

Tonight we are camping at a home on a Dakota Indian Reservation. Our cell phone and Ogo have no signal and expect that this will continue to be a problem for awhile. The homeowners here have generously allowed us to use their land phone to call home.

Our parents have been posting for us as we have no Internet access. If you have written any personal e-mails to us, we will respond when we have Internet access again.

Remember: We won't be interviewed on the Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show again until next week.

Thanks to TV6-Marquette, MI, for including us in their news broadcast last night. As always we appreciate everyone's support.
