Todays Miles: 48
Total so far: 66
Had a good night last night. Slept on a bed and slept quite well. We got up and decided to just eat breakfast
out somewhere. Found a McDonald’s and
that did the trick in getting going. We
did need to do some shopping before we got out of Minneapolis. We needed some
of the basic food items (Bagels, PB & Jelly) and gas to use for the
stoves. We stopped at quite a few stores
to get the gas and none had it. Ended up
that we went to a recreation store that was a little out of our way.
Getting out of Minneapolis was great. This place is very bike friendly. Most busy roads have a bike lane and there
was a greenway trail that must have been an old rail trail. It looked like it could have been a previous
subway route. Anyway, we rode nearly
completely on trails today and it was wonderful.
Riding on the Mid Town Greenway
And then we were back in Minnesota farming territory.
One thing that is interesting about Minnesota. They say that Co-Ops are a big thing
here. Nearly all grocery stores are
Co-ops and apparently many other types of businesses and stores are. Also, this State is really a land of 10,000
lakes. You see them all over the place. Glaciers
dug all these holes and now they are full of water. It is very pretty.
Crossed the Mississippi today. Not quite the river that it is further down
the way.
Camping by the St. Croix River tonight and mosquitos are
eating me alive. No internet connection tonight, so this writing is going to
have to wait until tomorrow. Great pictures of our campsite and the river.
