Today, I left the Badlands and Black Hills of South Dakota
behind. I pedaled 113.3 miles across the grasslands of South Dakota to reach
Oacoma. To read more about Kadoka, click here. To read more about Oacoma, click

E.S.T.
It was once again a cold morning start. One can see the warm
weather clothing I have on. The temperature continued to rise as the day
progressed. Towards the end of the day, it was indeed very pleasant. I am seen
here with a huge field of sunflowers behind me.
Pictured here are two of our four Trek Guides. The one with
the helmet is Michael Moreland and to his left is Scott Heather. Both of them
are fine men and excellent guides. They make it a special point to accommodate my
vegetarian belief and always have some healthy protein food for me at our
picnic lunches. To learn more about the Trek Guides, click here.
A road sign as I entered Oacoma. We ate dinner at Al’s Oasis
tonight. They are famous for their pies. My grilled cheese sandwich, onion
rings and a trip to the salad bar was okay. Nothing to rave about. The apple
pie with ice-cream was good.
My appeal today is for the annual “Baskets for a Cure”. This
will be in the LCGH lobby on October 16 and 17.
