Traveling Day 1


Blue Skies after the rain.

We took off at 3 am South Dakota time this morning. We drove half way across the state and then headed south on Hwy 83 at Murdo. Just past White River SD Mary and I saw a huge Bull Elk standing on the Praire sytaring at the truck as we drove by. This is the first time either one of us have seen on in the middle of the prairie. Shortly after we ran into a big thunderstorm with 1 inch hail. We got off lucky with no dents. Nebraska Sand Hills went pretty quickly and we breezed through North Platte. The scenery got greener as we traveled further south and the temperature continued to rise. It was 55 degrees when we left Rapid this morning. We stopped in Liberal KS and the temperature was 103 degrees. Dinner was in the hotel and an early bedtime for me. A safe day of travel.
