Around Edgemont

We got up this morning thinking we would be heading out for our first day towards Deadwood. The temp was in the lower 50s with a stiff 19 mile wind coming from the north. Being the wimps that we are, we decide to hang around till tomorrow morning when there will be virtually no wind and might even have a slight breeze on our backs. We decided to take the time and explore around the area while we had the chance.

We left Edgemont and headed to Hot Springs, a small town but much larger than here. It was a rather nice place with several coffee shops, a river walk, a park that was situated next to a small river, supposedly a warm river. This turned out to be warm, simply based on one’s perspective. We both put our hands in the water and decided a swim was not in our near future. We did enjoy our time in this small town. After walking over 4 miles we returned to Edgemont where we took naps, or at least tried to.

We lazed around the rest of the afternoon and just returned from the only open restaurant in town. Also the same place we ate at last evening, for the same reason.

We ended up walking 6 miles today, and no cycling miles.

We are committed to leave in the morning, unless we decide otherwise.Read more
