Was on the road later than normal - 9 am.   The route was suppose to be 53 miles flat.  Well, Ride with GPS picked a gravel road as a short cut right after I stopped at Jerry's Bar (mile 35).

I saw nothing most of the trip - cars or nor people.   The road was scenic though.   When I saw the small blue sign saying Jerry's Bar 5.5, I was in.  The place was so welcoming everyone wanted to chat about my trip.   They made me feel so welcome 

Back to the gravel road, I didn't feel comfy with it so I found out that would add a good chunk of miles and time.  Oh well!

I arrived at the campground / resort and the gentleman working outside said, "We are closed for the season.". He eventually gave me an 8-mile lift to the Northern Lights Casino.   I got a room and feel good.    Tomorrow I'll be on route again Viking 5.   

Heading south!

Today's ride: 59 miles (95 km)
Total: 1,027 miles (1,653 km)
