Jul 15 - Day 21
Spent the night in a cabin in Garrison, ND. Town is very close to Lake Sakakawea. It was a day of much needed rest for the travelers. Ned & Jerry cleaned their bikes, got the oil changed in the van, and toured a grain elevator. Owner gave them a bottle of canola oil. Canola plants are grown locally, fields look like PA mustard weed. Farmers plant far away from their homes, saying the canola plants stink. The very small seeds are processed to make canola oil. We also saw fields of dwarf sunflowers, which also grow along the road. Arlene & JoAnn spend the day reading and resting. Garrison is a sport fishing community, everyone has a boat with a huge motor attached. Boat repair facility called the "Man Box" is located right next to our cabin.

ReplyDeleteTalked to pap tonight. Sounded like a kid in a candy store. Glad to hear you ladies slept most of the day. Meme and JoAnn your are wonderful ladies. Wish I could be with you. Jerry and Pap, Keep your pushing for Maine. I think I saw smoke signals tonight.
ReplyDeleteHope it is not any hotter there than here. I doubt that Jim really sees smoke signals but Jay tells us that the parsonage at Newburg burned. Take lots of breaks and enjoy! Rod & Joann
ReplyDeleteA "man box".....is that similar to the "dog house"?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you took a day of rest. It is very well deserved. Keep up the pace and just keep pedaling! Ran into a old co-worker of Jerry and Pap. Bob Coldsmith I believe was the name and he said to tell you he is following you guys on the blog and that you need to pick up the pace....just kidding....he said have fun and keep up the good work!
I didn't see smoke signals, but I wish someone would do a rain dance here at home.
Prayers for pedaling from PA! Love and miss you all very much....even you Jerry!
