Day 4 - A perfect day for motorcycling

An amazing day today -  picture perfect weather,  rolling lush green hills and valleys,  clear rivers, friendly Nebraskans, and all day to enjoy it.  We got up early for coffee with Dan and Stephanie (thank you again for your hospitality!) then headed out about 6:30 am thinking we would get a few miles in before it hit 100°F again.  But it never broke 84° and was actually in the mid 70s much of the time.  So we followed the great Missouri River north and just kept going and going and going.  582 miles worth of going!  And the truth is we only stopped because the sun was approaching the horizon - a perfect day of motorcycling.  Kansas City,  Missouri to Chamberlain,  South Dakota -  the long way! And Bob and I loved every moment of it.  And a special shout out to Red and Ben,  an excavator and a farmer we met in Nebraska City.  They saw us studying out maps and struck up friendly conversation with us, asking us about our journey and telling us about their travels and their lives in Nebraska. Very interesting and genuinely good people,  I guess like you'd expect in Nebraska.  Thank you for saying hello! The sun was setting as we pulled in to the hotel. Good night to all - its North Dakota tomorrow and lunch with Sam and Kristie!
