Day 3

I got up at 5:30 this am and took my tent down and then went for a run (2 miles more or less). I think staying in state parks is good since they have trails to run on. I showered and was on the road by 7:10. Had breakfast at the same place that I had dinner and was really away at 7:36.

Its been interesting watching the change in the landscape - my route through WI was mostly woods while MN was farming on a huge scale. There was a train track along side the road that I was on an every few miles it seamed like there was a co-op and some were very large. SD has been largely farming but I think its less crops and more livestock.

SD is really spread out - there is a reason the speed limit on the 2 lane roads is 55 - there is nobody on them.

I don't think I will get very far today. I'm in a cafe right now eating lunce and its already 3:12. I will be lucky to get 250 miles. The name is serendipity coffeehouse in Platte. My salad and roast beef sandwich on Panini bread were great, but as usual I don't like coffee house coffee.
