Day 10 – Gackle, ND to Kathryn, ND

Distance 59
Total Distance 486.70

We had another thunderstorm move over us last night.  It put us on quite the light show. We awoke to a beautiful morning, had breakfast and then drove to Gackle, where I started from on Saturday.  It was only 40 miles away, so didn’t take us long.  The road I had to ride today was fairly flat and perfectly straight.  Not too much navigating was required today.  It was however a nice ride.

In Gackle the map read, “Limited services for the next 78 miles”.  And there really was not much of anything.  It got to about 85 degrees and due to the rain last night, was very humid. As I would ride, the perspiration doesn’t disappear like it does in Idaho.  We must be getting further east. I found a nice lawn to stop and have lunch under a tree.  I was hoping no one would come out of the house asking what I am doing there.  No one did. 

We are camped in the middle of nowhere at a campground called “Little Yellowstone”.  I don’t know why.  It is a nice camp, but nothing like Yellowstone.  We have no phone service or internet so are forced to watch a movie again tonight.


View of the 60 miles of straight road ahead.


The dreaded North Dakota rumble strips.


There are a ton of these marsh lands along the way.
