Day 28: Moorcroft WY to Spearfish, South Dakota.

65.7 miles today.  1544 miles total progress

It’s a brief update for now, as the phone keeps falling out of my hand as I drift into sleep. 

We opted to bike the longer of two optional distances today, as the weather is cool and dry, and questionable tomorrow.

Great, warm food started and ended the day, as we let others do the cooking.  Lunch was mix of things prepared in a beautiful city park in Sundance, WY. 

We elected to skip a side trip to Devil’s Tower, though this view was great from our route.

We were released from the State of Wyoming without incident, and we are discovering quite an array of fun and interesting things to explore while in South Dakota. 

Bye bye Wyoming
Hello South Dakota

Fortuitously, a bike shop sits at our entry point into Spearfish and it was still open when we arrived in town.  With a new shift cable in hand, necessary repairs can start on my bike shorty after dawn.

Our plans for the next day or so are somewhat fluid, though certainly include the highly rated Michelson Trail through the Blackhills. For now, KOA Campground has once again provided a sure place to rest and restore our clothing and our gear.
