The night wasn’t as noisy as I had expected it to be. All the locals seemed to clear out by 11PM. I had a good rest, but as I got back on the bike this morning, I realized I still had not rested my body enough. My rear end was still sore from the eight plus hours in the saddle the day before. Oh well, I had to move forward.

Today’s ride was very uneventful. I realized this when I went to look at my pictures and there were only a few and they were nothing special.

Tomorrow, we head on to South Dakota - state number 5.
