June 29-July 3 - Fargo, ND rest day

 We will take Amtrak from Fargo to Havre, MT on July 3.  So, Fargo is our home for the next 3 days.  We will rest our legs and have some needed days off before tackling the 35,000 feet of climbs during our last 700 miles of this journey.  Update:  I added wrong - its 45,000 feet of climbs (oh boy).

Today we tried a local craft brewery called 'Swing Barrel Brewing'.  I was really excited to try their New England IPA called 'Cheaters', which I thought was a super clever name to call a NEIPA (after the New England Patriots and Deflategate).  Unfortunately, they were out of Cheaters and I settled for something less memorable, but not a bad brew.

No pictures unless you are interested in seeing our old pizza box left on the hotel counter from last night.

    1. I know - it's a pain and I wish I would have done the blog on wordpress. This is hosted by Google, and they require you to be logged into a google account in order to post. At least that I what I gather. Is that what you had to do?

July 15 - Last day, Snohomish, WA to Anacortes, WA (67 miles)

 We simply enjoyed our last day.  It was 67 miles, beautiful weather and nearly half the ride was on the Centennial trail, a paved rail-to-t...
