The Mississippi bluffs

Awoke this morning to a tent covered with caterpillars. Gross. After flicking them all off and packing up we had a wonderful ride today In Wisconsin and Minnesota. Very hilly. Damn ice age glacier country. Rode 50 miles today along the St Croix and Mississippi rivers. Rode through some apple orchards and vineyards. The temps are warming up but we have been getting our slushys on.
It has just started to rain(thundering) but we are cozy in our tent. Hope it stops by tomorrow. Had a glorious dinner topped off with the most scrumptious chocolate cake. Yum. We are always hungry. Off to Winona tomorrow.

    Hey I hope those maps take you along the great river bike trail. I think it runs from Prescott to debuque and is very nice? The mom needs to read up on her geology. The river bluffs and hills are actually part od the drift less area that was not carved by the glaciers. But certainly cut by the rivers flowing through them. Bummer about the rain today. I skipped boot camp and slept in. You are only three hours from us, maybe we should road trip over today.
