Entering Minnesota

As I rode the 60 miles from Fargo, ND, to Pelican Rapids yesterday, and an additional 65 miles on to Urbank today, I've been enjoying the wonderful Minnesota Lake District. The area is dotted with hundreds of lakes interspersed through the gentle rolling hills. While I look fondly back at the Great Plains, Minnesota offers wonderful views of its own. Traffic has picked up a tad as Fargo natives are returning from their long Labor Day weekends at this vacation destination area, but I'm still riding the "road less traveled."

I would like to extend a thanks to Vern Foster, owner of the Twin Lake Landing Resort, near Amor, MN. He's a bicyclist-friendly host and has a campground with lake access. A great place.
