Day 12 – Fargo, ND to Fergus Falls, Minnesota

Distance 65

Total Distance 623

Everything that Mother Nature threw at me yesterday in the form of rain and wind was paid back to me today.  I had to travel at a southeasterly direction and the wind just blew me all the way to Fergus Falls.  One thing about the wind here.  If it is at your back, you have a smile on your face, if not??  Anyway, it was a day that keeps a cyclist going for another ride.

Leaving Fargo.

Can you see how fast I am going on the flat?  32 (kilometers per hour 😂) Still thats pretty good.

You can see the wind that was helping me.

I’m in Minnesota!! It really is a land of 10,000 lakes.  Actually the number is 11,842.  It is unbelievable.  There were some beautiful farms I passed today as well.  They just covered the hills and with perfectly straight rows of corn, some beets and soybeans.

No road sign coming into Minnesota, but here is the Red River that is the border at Fargo and Minnesota.

I stopped at a little café in Rothsay, MN to get a 2^nd breakfast/lunch.  Two things on the menu looked too good to pass up.  I got the potato bacon soup and some French toast.  I guess it truly was a brunch and it was delicious and gave me what I needed to get through the day.

Mmm, it was good.

This road was the best road I have ridden on all trip.  It was cement and just as smooth as possible.   

We are at Delagoon Park camping.  It is a pretty campground on the shores of one of Minnesota’s lakes.  Had dinner of hamburger helper again.  It was good and I’m hoping Lyle isn’t getting sick of my limited cooking. It seems we have this routine of eating dinner and then watching a movie.  Lyle brough this sack full of movies and it has been fun to watch them  Tonight was the latest Jumanji.

Camp for tonight.
