DAY FIFTY-Three Brownsville, MN to McGregor IA
Oct 1 Monday D93.51 km M 49.1A 16.7 PT 5h35 RT9h total 4162.5 km
Wind I love to say it….. NO WIND!!!
Temp warm…. We got up to 18C and muggy and it was overcast all day with threat of rain which never came
Road Condition great rolling ride along the rambling Mississippi River
Food: Breakfast fruit
Lunch Well we have to mention the CHOCOLATE PIE for coffee in New Albin MN It was scrumcious
Supper Had a late lunch of Pizza in Lansing and we pedaled on.
ACCOMODATION: Red Blood Municipal CG: Well we were headed to Sleepy Hollow CG which we went to but it had no showers so we came back down out of the hills to go to Spook Cave CG and came across the entrance for this one…. 1m off the road to find it was closed yesterday too…. Well we debated… I went to ask at 2 different houses… got cornered by 2 dogs… “nice dog… nice dog” as I backed away anyways I was exhausted so we put up tent to learn that there was open camping a little farther down the road… this spot apparently was closed due to flooding…. No signs so we are staying put… hopefully no one troubles us.
Overall: Hot and humid. Left once more at 8am! The days are shorter now with only 12 hours of sunlight… that is if it is sunny. It was a good ride. Lots of mobiles and float houses all along the river which seemed to be braided. Lots of sign of flooding into fields and areas you could see the trees were large and under water. Hard to know if the housing is summer homes or permanent houses. Incredible number of old old…[50’s] mobiles.
