World’s Largest Pheasant

Yessiree folks here it is, the one, the only. Don’t miss it. It’s in Huron, SD, which we rode through today.

The other highlight for today (which actually came before the giant pheasant)  was that we passed the half-way point for those who are riding all the way from Seattle to Boston. Here’s the chalk commemoration that we have ridden 2100 miles!

The ride today was 79+ miles with a 15-20 mph headwind. I rode the whole thing, all the way from Miller to DeSmet, arriving in DeSmet at about 7:30 pm.

I just want to take some time to thank all those who have contributed to NAMI. The total now is over $2300! I think that’s terrific and know NAMI will put it to good use. I will thank each of you individually when I get back home. Just cannot manage it with all that’s going on on the ride and this teenie weenie smartphone keyboard! In the meantime, I am assuming NAMI has provided each of you with a receipt for tax purposes. Please let me know if that is not true. Thanks again. I sincerely appreciate your kindness.
