This morning we had a late wake up of 4:30. Well, I should say that the group had a 4:30 wake up, however I didn’t wake up until 4:45. After hearing Danny screaming outside about the mosquitoes, I decided to pack everything up in my tent. I even brushed my teeth in the tent. After I packed up my tent, I had to put everything away. At this point, there were at least 10 mosquitoes on me. The mosquitoes were so bad here that they would bite through our bibs.
After I got all my stuff packed away, I went to one of the 2 buildings in town. The cafe gave us free cookies, and water. Thanks so much!
We finally got on our bikes. We banged out a really easy and flat 15 to breakfast. At this point, we were averaging close to 20 mph. The diner that we planned on going to was closed, so we went to the closest gas station and got breakfast there.
We got on our bikes, and cranked out a quick 12 miles to a water break. On our ride, we saw a bald eagle flying in front of us. This bald eagle was at eye level. I honestly cannot think of anything more American. When we got to our water break, we found a broken phone. This, along with the stapler that we saw yesterday, were the most interesting things that we have seen on the road so far.
We then did the rest of the flat miles into North Dakota, and Fargo. For lunch, we went to a Panera and waited for our hotel rooms to open up.
Unfortunately, there are not fireworks allowed inside of Fargo, and the nearest firework show is 5 miles away. So, we will probably not see any fireworks...
Signing off for now...Webmaster Wyatt
