Little Falls to Dalbo / the Bunkhouse

Daily miles 74.7

Cumulative miles 2,244

For what it's worth, Minnesota has been a mixture of boring and fun. Mostly fun. Once I hit woods in Richwood, it was a good ride, mostly, to just outside of Little Fall. It was a nice change of pace. Today's ride was a mix of boring open roads and smaller country roads.

ACA wanted me to go on the Lake woebegone trail for a couple of miles. I didn't. It was actually kind of off course and the trails in MN haven't been the greatest. So I took the hypotenuse of the triangle, so to speak. On the AT, they had you climb over hills with no views when there was a perfectly good easier side trail around. We called them PUD's, pointless, up and downs. The LWT seemed that way.

One of the first things I saw as I left Little Falls this am.

This may be my last picture of the Mississippi on this trip.

Loads of chicken houses along this stretch.

It seems the eagles may have found the chicken houses too.

This may be considered an invasive, as I'm pretty sure it's a Michigan lilly.

Ok now comes one of those great stories. This is about Adventure Bicyclists Bunkhouse. Read the story below. I met Don, and he's the real deal. What an inspiration to bring kind and generous.

Today's ride: 74 miles (119 km)
Total: 2,237 miles (3,600 km)
