We had a 7:00 a.m. ride start this morning as breakfast at our hotel started late but it was worth waiting for. Our start temperature was in the low 50’s which was a slight change from what we had been used to but warmed up into the 70’s by ride’s end making for a beautiful ride. We saw lots of wildlife along the route such as turkey, deer and even a fox. We had planned to rest in Dalbo, MN but came across a Memorial service at the Salem Lutheran Cemetery that was just beginning so we quietly joined the small gathering to pay our respects to those responsible for making our country one we can be proud of. Following the service, many attendees were curious about our travels. Kathi and John shared their desire to reach Washington State before this journey came to an end and all enjoyed listening to their ambitious plans. We arrived in Milaca, MN around 10:30 a.m. and Kathi and John were allowed to check in early and invited Dennis and I to wash up in their room before catching our ride back to the Twin Cities. Amy and Luke found us at the Dairy Queen having our usual afternoon snack. Introductions were made and we then had to bid farewell to John and Kathi. Parting was difficult as we realized our weekend fun was ending and we would not see John and Kathi for some time. We wished them well as they venture west to continue their journey. We are grateful to them for this riding opportunity and have confidence that they will reach their goal. Happy trails guys!
