Bismarck to Fargo, ND
Saturday, July 25, 2009 at 4:23PM 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.

Good Wednesday Morning Tyler... Back from Canada to find some great new photo's you'd posted... (My favorite was the 83 year old Vet) Lyle Dare is my favorite Veteran here in Spokane, who joined the army in 1944 at 16.. and was in the D-Day invasion and the Battle of the Bulge later that winter.... you are on your way to Minnesota today i'd guess... so consider this a little "push" from the West... thinking of you as you travel.... best John
Bon Maatin TEB... the national weather with the Jet Steam dippin way down to the center of the country be givin you a temperature "break".... The highest temperature ever in history was recorded yesterday in Seattle.... glad you are the beneficiary of their distress.... wonder where you are on your progress to Grace... it is a long road sometimes.... but those willing to "ride it" on their own... as seekers are rewarded.... I know you will find the Grace that you seek, because not unlike Luther... or any of us... it is right there with you... bless you on your journey this day... you are in our thoughts... john and mary...
