DAY Thirty-Six Rugby ND to Devils Lake 97 km
Sept 14/07 Friday D105.06 km M 36 A 20.4 PT 5 h 24 RT 6.5h total2839.1 km
Wind slight from the rear
Temp -5C overnight Now that’s cold -2C in tent! Sunny all day but finally got up to +8 by noon
Road Conditions: cement road with blump blump shoulder variable from gravel to wide paved
Accommodations: well we just went into the Tourist Info on the chance there would be a campsite in town and found out the state park we were headed for had been closed for 5 years! Oops so the lady in the office said their Bible Camp takes cyclist camping so off we went another 10km to I think a Lutheran Bible camp… very nice like Naramata
FOOD Breakfast: usual fruit in the Cenex cafe
Lunch: City Park in Leeds Picnic as usual
Supper Couscous with black beans, romain salad cheese and crackers
Overall really good day slightly up hill with the wind at our backs. We stayed on Hwy 2 instead of going on Adventure Cycle route as shorter and there is no traffic on this divided hiway anyways. Interesting Camp. I’m not sure what denomination the Bible camp is as no signs. Seems set up like Naramata’s United Church camp with numerous buildings that were motels, homes etc and they have retreats etc. They have a serviced campsite and a rustic spot too. Knowone is in the camp spot tonight. There is a retreat on which looks like it is for teenage girls.
We met a cyclist from Brooklin NY [Steve Slovacek] going west today. He was young so not having too much trouble. He had stayed an extra day in Devils Lake yesterday due to the wind. Has a Trek touring 520 also.
Don’t expect it to be so cold tonight.
I picked up a “cross” that Rev Carol Cruise from Canton OH left. She is walking the circumferance of USA and wants you to pick up her crosses and send them south… I carried it 100km and gave it on with her wishes to the girl in the office here.
