Today I went a little rogue as it saved some miles. Rather then drop down to Osceola, I went direct from Sunrise to St Croix. It saved maybe 12 miles and with lightening threatening it seemed the wise idea (which are often in short supply). 

I was doing a little inventory recently. So far I lost one riding glove (they are so important for sun protection), one rope (for hanging food), one pair of sun glasses( I knew where I left them but didn't want to go back 5 Montana miles to collect them), one sock(doing a laundry of course), and yesterday broke my phone holder  (this is a real problem). I'm doing a Jerry rig to keep it in place but it isn't all that functional. Motorcycle or bicycle shops might have one. Overall, not s bad loss number.

A beautiful part of the ride in the early morning.

Hardly any shoulder, but hardly any traffic.

Him either, I'm afraid.

It seems odd they would welcome the Governor.

River Spirit, at Interstate Park. It does seem to have fluidity about it

I've mentioned previously how much I love the early morning riding. The last few days, I've seen a few speckled fawn, and one that must have just popped out. It couldn't have weighed more then 15-20 lbs. The morning light, lack of traffic and calm energy are very attractive to me.

Today's ride: 55 miles (89 km)
Total: 2,292 miles (3,689 km)

Barbara WalterYou are leaving my old stomping grounds, MN and WI - I can only hope you saw the World's Largest Ball of Twine Wound by a Single Person, in Darwin, MN.
Sorry it has taken so long to catch up with you - for us at the Red Cross, the time has flown!
Stay safe and strong. I'll catch the crew up if they haven't been paying attention.

Jamie DolanTo Barbara WalterSome how, I missed that attraction! Trust all is well with you and the crew and look forward to seeing you and the crew in about a month and a half.
