July 14th

Today we drove in SD, and on the highway another RV driver was signaling for us to pull over. Surprised and confused, we pulled over and checked the minivan. The rear left tire we think exploded and that there were sparks flying everywhere!! Once we got to the campground we went straight to the pool because it was so hot out. After that we rented 3 recumbent bikes and drove around for 30 minutes. It was hilarious, one of us would hit tree or something and the others would start laughing. We went to the Badlands and were starting a ranger walk when it was over 100 degrees. Uncle Bud just had to sit down and rest. But a couple rangers and water bottles later we were back on the road.
