DAY Thirty-Nine Hope to Fargo 110 km
Sept 17/07 Monday D 114.78 km M 44.5 A 17.4 PT 6.5h RT 9 h total 3145.8 km
Wind Light wind in the morning picked up by afternoon when we were going straight into it. None when it rained!
Temp 8C in tent in am Warm overnight. Another misty morning. Gone is our blue sky. Overcaste 20C and raining in the afternoon. Just drizzling.
Road Condition mostly good, but turned to gravel shoulder and Cement road.
Accommodation: Well it was raining and we were wet so decided a motel night in order. The SCANDIA HOTEL 717-4th st N Fargo is one of the cleanest I have ever been in Upscale or not. New rugs New Paint. Nice place Good price. $56 It is next to the hospital and used by persons visiting or having treatments. Could have contacted a warmshowers person but didn’t want to give such short notice. Derryl had met a guy in Cooperstown who invited him over in Fargo. Nice nice people here.
Food: Breakfast Ken had pancakes at the Ice crème shop
Lunch Arthur: picnic then tried a restaurant, but no pie, no deserts, no veggie stuff
Supper We had a great supper out with Derryl at Juano’s on Broadway. Great Mexican feed for 3 veggies!
Overall Well Derryl showed up as we were having breakfast. He had stayed in Cooperstown last night and got up at 6am to try to beat the wind today. We didn’t think we would meet up with him again as he is going on to Maine and we are heading south soon. The wind wasn’t as bad as yesterday but a long day in the saddle. The afternoon passed quickly with Derryl along too.
