Kit and Carol on the Road

Headed back to South Dakota and Pierre—the state capital and one of its hottest places. We camped right on the Missouri River (like Lewis and Clark) in the city park, biked to the State Capitol building and along the “Lewis and Clark bike trail”, took our truck to the Dodge dealer a few blocks away for some repair work, AND found a great restaurant within biking distance. Heading East the next afternoon we headed under some awesome looking thunder-clouds-in-the making. Kit noted that cold front was meeting warm front –the typical tornado forming pattern—BUT it was the wrong time of year. That night in DeSmet we heard tornado warnings for places to the north and south of us—and had some heavy thunder storm rain in the night.
