Temp very cool most of the day 5C in am, 12 C by noon, 15C rest of sunny day
Road Conditions: rough shoulder Quiet road until on Hwy US 83 which is divided Some frost heaves that were bad. Still fairly hilly.
Accommodations: Stopped at Pat’s Motel and CG but it is in need of renos so we came on to Svenson’s RV park at the top of the hill and it is fabulous. They are not used to having cyclists so cost $0 for 2 nites and they have a kitchen building with tv, free long distance phoning, hot hot showers… incredible
FOOD Breakfast: usual fruit
Lunch: Makot… picnic in the park… getting boring yet…Not
Supper Finally found good vegitarian food in the super market… veggi burgers for supper on multigrain buns, fresh coleslaw….YUMMOverall Frost on the tents this morning so needless to say it was a cool night. Today was very very long pedaling up and over hill and dale. No services for 50k so not even a pop to be had…. Rememberances of going thru Saskatchewan. The body was really tired but still going good. Day off tomorrow.
