milage 539
total milage 7709
camping fee $10
Long day in the saddle, much longer than I was expecting...without Martin I don't figure the milage I just ride. Evidence of flooding everywhere. I set of camp in the Whapeton, ND park. They are accross the river from each other. Hadn't eaten anything since morning so I was hungry. Had a great burger and beer and then drove around town and looked over where I had lived, played including the area I used to fish at and swing into the river to swim. I was very disappointed nobody recognized me anywhere but I didn't recognize them either.
Got pictures of the dams and locks on the might mississippi river on the way.
Stopped at Foxhome, a small town about 14 miles out. I found the farm where I had boarded Fancy Pants after my own midnight ride of kip revere, another story. The farm was much smaller than I remembered, that seems to keep happening. It hasn't been lived in for at least 10 years but I talked to the man who now owns the property and has a mobile home on it.
A family was camped beside me, kind of, they were the only other ones in the park. They gave me a piece of sweet corn, very good. Corn will be harder to find because of the amount of flood damage.
