Jul 22 - Day 28

Bikers rode from Wahpeton, ND to Morris, MN which was 62 miles, new total 1788. The ride was really tough, they pushed a nasty, nasty, nasty headwind that blew straight in their faces with no let up all day. Also had to deal with several rain showers. They ate lunch at a cafe in the small town of Herman where the owner would not accept payment for their meals. They ate ham, escalloped potatoes, fresh fruit and warm homemade pie. Ned had coconut cream and Jerry ate rhubarb. It is another example of the wonderful people we have met during this trip. Ladies saw more white pelicans and egrets. One item of interest for the day was that Minnesota has miles of abandoned electrical lines with hundreds of glass insulators, something you do not see in PA. Jerry talked with a gentleman at the motel in Morris who was pulling a long flat trailer that housed dogs. He said there would be several hundred others who would be participating in field trails with their dogs, mostly labs. Ned and Jerry are happy to be back in "Big Ten" country.
