July 30 Day 30 Aberdeen SD to Webster SD. 48 miles 830 climbing

Riding out of Amberdeen there are a lot of  small lakes, retention ponds not quite sure what they are.
This is Suzanne, she's the young pup in the group at 55 and started riding 5 summers ago.
She is a massage therapist and yoga instructor. She is a friend of Nancy's and that is how she found herself riding across America with us. A great rider and  very strong and fun to ride with. A very happy lady. She helped Jim with a hamstring that was giving him a hard time. 
I have so many pictures of old barns and houses I have to show you one every now and then.
This is the town that Sam found for the lunch stop.
This hotel looked really neat from the road. It was sad when we got closer. But hey, we found the Waldorf Hotel in Andover SouthDakota
And here's Sam and his very first rest stop. It was really over cast today. There is suppose to be rain this evening, it should be done by 9:00 tomorrow morning.
These birds seem to be the only residents in Andover.
We are spending the evening in Webster. There isn't much going on, but they are having the Class B
Baseball playoffs going on and tonight  is the finals.z
The fellow standing on this side of the table is a fellow named Ron. He comes up from Iowa to fish the lakes here. He told us about the water. It seems that all the water we see is natural. There is a huge Auquifer that is pushing the water to the surface. There are actually farmers that have lost their farmland to the lakes that are forming. Tomorrow we leave South Dakota and we head to Ortonville,
Michigan. About 63 miles will get us there.
