Uneventful but wonderful ride today. Crossed the 2000 mile mark. We saw many friendly dogs and many cows. The cows are starting to look like the Wisconsin cows (the mom knows her Wisconsin cows), and we thank them all as we roll by because June is dairy month. We also are riding through chicken farm area. The huge enclosed chicken houses smell awful for miles around. It is a wonder how the farmers live right next door.
We arrived early into town and since there was no camping area we stayed at the Super 8. When the mom inquired about a place to do laundry, the woman at the front offered to do it for us using the hotel's washer and dryer. Talk about Midwestern hospitality! Furthermore, the Dairy Queen was right across the street from the hotel. Great day.
On another note, the mom is getting homesick. Since I have been homeless since December, this is a new concept! It is a good thing her sister is joining us in a little over a week. Perhaps that can rally the spirits.
Please tell the mom, it is raining and 50 degrees today in Ketchikan, and Alaska is still beautiful!
