It's a good thing you brought your Lucky Leaf with you (wink, wink) or you would never have survived the night!

Indeed, igloo building is HUGE in the northern climates. (And in the mountains, as you well know.)

"Shackleton? Bah, humbug." The Reckless Mr. Bing Bong said that, not me. I thought the dude was a pretty brave adventurer.

I don't know if it's the power of suggestion, but I think I see it too!

Wow! This is true adventure.
Shackleton was a soft-handed, pampered tenderfoot compared to you and The Reckless Mr. Bing Bong.

That's a lifesaving skill that you'll use time and time again.

Yep. If you zoom in real tight you can see Putin eating some gulash.

You might be the first man that the Mounties didn't get! I hope this hasn't caused a major disruption to their slogan.

I had been to Medora twice before on bike trips, so I didn't think I needed to go there again. Boy was I wrong. I did not know about the Mr. Bubble Museum. I might have to turn around and make a visit. I sure could use a nice hot bubble bath.

I am in awe.

Too bad you missed Medora, ND, home of Mr. Bubble inventor (I Forgot His Name). It's a small touristy town owned by the trust established by the offspring of(I Forgot His Name). There's a large Mr. Bubble museum (I am not making this up) and the town imports young people from countries around the world, dresses them in uniforms and assigns them to work in whatever hotel or business needs help. It's a pretty creepy place in some ways, interesting and a scenic in other ways.
Put that on the list for you next RTW tour!

I spent a month in Depressionville, Montana one night.

Stupidity? What is stupid about riding your bike across a frozen lake to complete a round the world tour in the frozen season??

Yes, of course. I’m sure that must have been it. Much more plausible than my own first assumption, that you carried it in your pocket the whole way to use as a test for attentive readers. A real round- the-worlder wouldn’t carry the extra weight for such a frivolous reason.

Yeah, I can't believe I made that mistake either. Thank you for providing me with that "everything was so white" excuse. I'll use it when my friends start making fun of me for my stupidity.
