Day 22
Rapid City to Kadoka - 102 miles
This was one of our hardest days. On top of everything else I woke up in the middle of the night with the flu. I was not able to keep anything down all day. The temp reached 112 degrees and we had 20-25 mph head winds.
We went through Badlands National Park and a lot of rolling grass lands. The highlight of the day was the Worlds Largest Prairie Dog. This is the area that Dances With Wolves was filmed.
Cheryl and Tom finally caught me and helped pull me in as the flu was taking its toll. About 10 people sagged in because of the heat.
Our camp was in the city park with dead grass and very little shade. In the middle of the night we had a thunder storm complete with tornado warning sirens. Welcome to South Dakota.....
