Bismarck to Fargo, ND

Hopped 80 miles to Jamestown on 7/23 then the final 98 miles the next day to Fargo. The days were actually not too terrible. The night in that mosquito infested (and humid) rest area in Jamestown was worse.

I'd planned to stop another night before Fargo, but favorable conditions  can make one kind of greedy for mileage. Had the wind at my back, finally, and flat terrain--Webster flat, not "Montana Flat".

Two miles short of a century, I wanted to circle the block a couple of times to get the even hundred...but my legs voted against it. Being outnumbered, I relented--democracy in action.

As I rode into Fargo, I kept looking for scenery from the popular movie by the same name. Turns out, it was filmed in Minnesota. (???)

Laying over here for a couple of days and resting easy knowing that ND is under my belt. Next, to Minnesota; I'll continue my quest for "Fargo" scenes there.
