After a few border crossings back and forth between Wisconsin and Minnesota, I think we've finally officially checked off Wisconsin. Weird, but I never really ever felt that we were 'in' Wisconsin, probably because we were always right on the border, along the Mississippi river. Anyhow, later Wisconsin... I liked the small town Prescott.
We've fully embraced Minnesota now. The scenery has been gently changing over the last several hundred miles. The countryside of MN has a lot more trees and even pines! We shortened our ride today to 55 miles, even though we had a tail wind. Reason being is that we wanted to stay at the Adventure Cyclists famous 'Bunkhouse'.
The Adventure Cyclists Bunkhouse is an amazing place where a farmer (retired military pilot) Don and Sherry host bicyclist in an old converted barn. There are cots, a kitchen stocked with lots of foods and drinks and a shower and bathroom and it's free! Of course, we will make a generous donation to the coffee jar and pay for food eaten. There were two other people that arrived to stay at the bunkhouse as well - John and Margaret, from near Albany, NY.
How cool is the Bunkhouse! Definitely have to make the most of this gem.
ReplyDeleteKudos on WI. The water looks inviting.
