DAY Thirty-Seven Devils Lake to Pekin 88 km

Temp 8C in tent in am You know it’s getting cold when RV Antifreeze is on sale and snowmobiles are on sale
Road Condition Snakes on road “live”; skunks, raccoons and deer “dead”
Accommodation:
Food: Breakfast same old same old
Lunch CafĂ© in Lakota…. “SIT Long-Talk Much-Laugh Often” Not great When will I learn!
Supper Corn on cob…Yum and Veggie burgers
Overall Corn fields, soyabeans, potatoes harvesting; Last part of day worst Great to meet Donna and Allen on their farm. She is a postal worker and he is a retired teacher-school administrator. They have retired as farmers and the government pays them not to work the land. I’m not really sure why … if it is to save the land for future generations or what, but it is sort of a agricultural reserve. Nice to just sit and visit and of course the showers were wonderful! She likes ‘bears’ too.
