I woke up this morning to the sound of rain. Not a good thing, but one of those things you have to handle. I had considered going east into North Dakota and then cutting back and heading towards Rapid City, South Dakota so that i could go see "Them Big Faces". I took a look at the weather on the local TV, and found out that the highest temp for the state of SD would only be in the low 50's with most of the state in the 40's for a high. In addition, he said it was snowing in the Black Hills. That cancelled my original idea. I decided to just head east for awhile and the turn south to cross SD and enter Nebraska. That sounded good, until I actually started riding. The rain never did let up, and the temps just seemed to keep dropping (there's actually a freeze warning for tonight. After five hours of riding, I called it quits and got a rom for the night. So there is nothing to report. It just now stopped raining, and there are a few breaks beginning to show in the clouds. I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow. So it wasn't a great riding day, but I did keep thinking about when I was riding the Natchez Trace in Miissippi, and the weather was so great. I told myself that things were just averaging out. It didn't help, I was still cold, wet, and somewhat miserable
