Lindstrom MN Day 47 Sept 25 2 days ahead of schedule

DAY Fourty-Seven Springvale CG to Lindstrom 65 km
Sept 25 Tuesday D73.79 km M 41.2A18 PT 4h RT5.5h total3713.5 km

Wind behind us for the most part, then into it for the south portion
Temp cooler 65F
Road Condition good minimal traffic
Accommodation: Well the CG we headed for was gone so we went to the visitors info and found Whispering Bay CG ok… $20 plus for showers which are in need of upgrade. It is a summer resort for permanent summer stays
Food: Breakfast usual
Lunch Another “Beef Lovers CafĂ©” Yukky…. I didn’t think there was so much bad food to be had… Ken tried to best the worst grilled cheese sand he has ever had and he did it! White bread with cheese slices…. Yek! I went for the split pea soup… small taste of bacon and a white dinner bun! Not bad for a meat and potatoes restaurant! The banana cream pie was excellent Ken says with real banana slices
Supper Boring sandwiches
Overall: Pretty good day after the events of yesterday. Looked like rain all day.
More PEDAL PEDAL……
Hills – what are these doing here?
Trees- all colors, green, yellow, red, deep red, orange leaves and those falling like rain in the wind
Dead life- lots of skunks, what we think are possums…. No hair on the long tail and the size of a skunk, raccoons
Cows
High clouds-looking like rain all day
Signs for BAIT- fishing bait- live minnows in shops to buy for bait
Turtle- was in the middle of the road- maybe hit- over 1 foot diameter shell and very vicious when we tried to save him
Lots of acreages and lakes… acreage or farm…. Farms have untied dogs!
“Detour signs” - we went anyways as said 2miles and we only needed 2km- reached a piece of new pavement!
