The riders leaving Pipestone, Minnesota at 9 am Thursday December 18th

Today we arrived the American Legion in Pipestone, Minnesota to help serve breakfast to the riders.  It was amazing to see all the people.  Isaiah Miller from Pine Ridge said "My father Jim Miller had a dream and he is the one holding the staff."  Isaiah is from Pine Ridge.  The Lower Sioux Tribal Police have been helping provide a safe escort for the horses.  My daughter Kari helped serve Lunch at the Stephanie and Rich DeRuyter farm located in Ruthton, Minnesota.  The farm provided a warm place to stop between Pipestone and Russell, Minnesota.

Would you like a value meal? "Three spoons please," said Kari, "Three spoons." Is there anything else? Three spoons, said Kari Tjaden, my 15 year old daughter, in front of four other people walking thru the local fast food drive up window late last night in Vermillion, S.D. "We looked all over the hotel for spoons but couldn't find any," said my daughter laughing. Imagine what the talk of that fast-food joint was after she left. You didn't even order something on the dollar menu?
