91 degrees, feels like 106!
Winona to Lake City
All night long we had storms outside with rolling thunder and lightning. It started around 8pm and continued all night until early morning. It was really cool. The water level came up to the curb outside on the street! Rob's brother Danny had to move his car out of the water!

We took Highway 61 which was empty due to a detour just north of Wabasha! They are resurfacing the road and tore the whole thing up to install pipes. The detour was up into the bluffs and it was gorgeous but we didn't dwaddle due to the fact that there were sporadic shoulders, shoulders with a rumble strip down the middle and last of all no shoulders. The traffic was very good. Only one pickup blew his horn -1 out of all who passed us in both directions isn't any big deal!

We arrived around 10:30 and spent an hour or so at the groery store gathering what we would need for our day of rest tomorrow so we don't have to go anywhere. Now it's is after 3 -the temperature is 91 degrees with a heat index of 106 degrees. We are inside with air conditioning.
Today's ride: 52 miles (84 km)
Total: 9,989 miles (16,076 km)

Our corn is nowhere near as high as what you are seeing out there. We had a wet spring and farmers didn't plant until recently. You will see a LOT more corn on your route. And, soybeans!
