Mile 1890 – Devils Lake, North Dakota. Under 400 miles today to slow down for perfect weather and Minnesota. We swam in Andrusia Lake, near Bemidji, and followed that with a leisurely lunch on a terrace on Lake Bemidji. We crossed the Mississippi four times (we were near the headwaters where it is a small meandering stream).
Tonight, in North Dakota, we broke down and ate prime rib and filet mignon. It was very good. When in Rome…. Last night we tried to eat what we’re used to, and it was not good.
Tomorrow will be a longer day. We booked in Havre, North Central Montana. Finding a place to sleep on August weekends can be difficult. By the time we get somewhere, there is typically no vacancy. We stay ahead of the game by booking a day in advance over the Internet.
