Today I was tempted to junk all of my food and just strap 5 lbs of red vines on to the back rack of my Surly. It's really hard to find small packages of them and when you need red vines you need red vines. Ok enough of that.
Had a beautiful ride today with rolling hills, curvy roads and lots of lakes. Road through some small touristy towns. Lots of bait shops and boats. The last 10 miles we were back in the prairie with headwinds. At least the roads curved some. Made it to Parkers Prairie and discovered our campground for the night was being inhabited by a naughty black bear. He even made headlines in the local paper. So we called the police to see if we could stay in the city park. Yeah. We can and it is a really nice place. No showers but used the ones at the motel across the road for a small fee. Then went and got ice cream. Noticing the Midwest has ice cream everywhere. Got back to the tent and visited with the police for awhile. Very nice. He wanted to make sure we had everything we needed.
Off to little falls tomorrow. Forecast rain and cool. Sounds better than hot.
YEah for Ice-cream! and RED VINES!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you gals are doin' great!
Our summer in AK is not soo great! Been cloudy for the month of JUNE; but we had a great MAY summer. Sounds like AK-Summer 2011 is going to be just like or worst than Summer 2010. WHo knows...
So girly and mom...please soak up some sun for us, Alaskan. Keep on riding and we be safe!
Take care ladies~
