(^100) Wall
The plan was to bike through the Badlands National Park, but the
wind was howling. In the miserable weather, I stayed put. The bikers
all left for the rally but returned later as Wall must’ve been the
cheapest campsite in the area.
Wall – 1880 Town - 105 km
Morning broke with the same sullen skies and stubborn wind. Still,
there wasn’t much one could do but pack up and face the elements. I
departed Wall in a drizzle that continued on and off all day. Little of
interest happened, and my only entertainment was taking selfies. I
must be extremely bored to do such a thing!
Towards the end of the day, another cyclist came into view. He was
on a mission to cycle all 50 states, which sounded pretty
monotonous, going around and around in the same country. But, then
again, this was the nice part about bicycle touring – we all did our
own thing, in our own time and manner. We chatted for a while
before continuing in our respective directions.
I finished the day’s ride in a tiny town named 1880 Town. Its single
claim to fame was that the area was one of the film locations for
Dances with Wolves.
