I lived in Minneapolis for about a year in the 1980s...not far from Maple Grove.

You look like quite the Cowboy!

Nice rock-work for that fireplace. :)

That's pretty colorful!

What flavor ice cream did you get? My sister, who lives in Glen Rock, PA isn't too far from one, should I give it a try?

A spider is a good enough description for me - and I'll be putting distance between me and it!

That's a Honking Hill!

:) I didn't know you were born in Kansas! :)

I've enjoyed all the quirky local "art" you've shared

Wow. NICE surprise

Our route included 30 or more miles on park system trails, which held interest for navigational challenges if nothing else.

I enjoyed the time here. You live in a wonderful place, apart from the winters.

Sorry that your last day was a rainout. Hopefully it will make you feel a little better when I tell you that the section between North Branch and Maple Grove would probably have been the least interesting and least scenic day of your tour.

Anyway, good job on the tour and the journal. I like to read other peoples' perspectives on my state.

Thanks Suzanne.

Thanks Kelly, both for the kind words and the invitation.

Thanks George. It's a great place to ride.

Glad you enjoyed the read.
