Doesn’t look like he’s a congregant of the Church of the Great Outdoors to me.

You’re right. Pretty funny name.

Terrific courthouse! It’s an interesting architectural style. Do you have any background on it? I hear you take requests.

I used to ask all of the cyclists for a photo, if we had a conversation of any length at all. Then I had a couple tell me no photo. I was taken aback. Conversation went from friendly to frosty and quickly ended. I spent miles after that speculating why they wouldn't want their photos taken - famous, witness protection program, etc.

I sometimes ask if I can photo their bike - that's always a yes. Then I add that they can be in the photo as long as they don't get in the way of the bike. That's usually good for a laugh and a photo.

If it's a short conversation, I don't usually ask. I do really enjoy looking at photos of loaded bikes.

If MN is the land of 10,000 lakes, do you know how many lakes the U.P. has? I constantly amazed at all of them in these maps.

Wow, the NATIONAL Ski Hall of Fame and Ski Museum is there.... I would never have guessed that in a multiple choice in Trivial Pursuit or a TV game show.

Nice try, I think you would have needed over-developed deltoids, skinny forearms and amputated hands like the giant to have been successful.

Never ever get in the way of a bear craving crafts - just give him/her the crocheted tissue box cover and don't worry about the payment.

Yep, totally despicable duo. I do not touch icky slugs with my fingers either. I always use a stick to pry them off. I once camped among a festival of slugs and had DOZENS of them on the ground sheet in the morning. That time, I resorted to using the tweezers in my first aid kit to get all of them. (Hmmm... I don't remember if I sanitised the tweezers after that....).

Maybe we both have a little bit of a shy streak in us. Other journals are full of pictures of bike touring strangers.

I looked at the Herman-Nestoria Road, but it seemed a little too rocky. It would definitely be YOUR kind of road though.
