It doesn't take much to upset our routine. We all have gotten pretty used to someone else deciding when and where we get up, eat breakfast, stop for snacks, and eat dinner. So a broken ice machine at the hotel, sent me wandering the streets at 6:00 am looking for ice, the gas station across the street was still closed, so I went back to McDonalds for breakfast, and filled my CamelBak with ice and water from my drink cup. On the road at 6:30, we followed the Missouri river most of the day. At the first SAG stop, strategically positioned at the half way point of our journey across the country, we all took photos and celebrated with a piece of watermelon. We then passed through an Indian Reservation near Ft Thompson. The last of three big climbs was through a road construction site, so we did a little off-roading through the gravel and dirt, just to make it a little harder. I pulled into Chamberlain about 1:30, and after a quick stop at the Best Western to change into some shorts, I headed back to McDonalds for the second time today to enjoy another Chocolate Shake. Dinner tonight and breakfast on Friday are at the Anchor Grill. We enjoyed fried chicken and roast beef, along with some freshly baked homemade rhubarb pie.
