A beautiful ending to the day
St Croix to Whitefish Lake
Daily miles 88.4
Cumulative miles 2,488
Today was fun, for the most part. The ride out to Cumberland, for the first 30 or so miles were nice country roads. Quiet, peaceful. The next 30 or so were a bit more open roads with more traffic. The final 20 returned to quiet country roads. There were a couple of down pours to deal with, but they were ok. The first downpour I was right next to a bar. Ducking in, the barkeep was alone so she and I chatted for 10-150 minutes before I was on my way. What a pleasant interlude, and right on a lake. The second downpour did not have as nearly ás nice a respite. Sitting under the small awning of an auto body shop. At least I was sort of dry.
I'm staying with warm showers host Bob on the shoes of Whitefish Lake. Bob is a warm and generous person. He offered, and then proceeded to check over my bike and make a couple of minor repairs and maintenance. An eclectic man with various interests, and a very good conversationalist. His house is a family legacy and is gorgeous. They have done some very wonderful additions to this A frame. And it is right at lakes edge. Peaceful... Easy to get used to.
Not so many photos as my phone holder is broken and messing with the Jerry rig set up is a pain.
Today's ride: 88 miles (142 km)
Total: 2,380 miles (3,830 km)

My position was eliminated in June @ the ARC. Twenty-three Donor Center Coordinators Staff Nationally also lost their jobs. After being employed there since 2000, it surely is different not traveling there to go to work. I do miss the donors and the staff.
Thank you for all your life-saving Platelets … you truly are a Hero!
Wishing you the best!
Safe travels😊
