Day 10 Minnewaukan to Rugby, ND...62 miles.
Out the door by 7:00 into a cool 54 F and a nice sunny day. The one possible stop [not to be missed] on our route today was Esmond, ND at 27 miles down the road. When we pulled up to the Esmond Café a guy leaving said the food was great. He was right, we had a brunch that was first class, the hash browns were not greasy. It's good thing we fueled up.
After lunch that bitch Mother Nature kicked our ass. It was hard work just standing up in the 20-30 mph wind. We stopped every few miles to get a breather and crawled into town about 2:00.
Rugby is the geographical center of North America and my best guess is Gryphon Liquors, located next to our motel, is on the exact spot [for awhile today it was the center of my universe, need a cold one after that wiind].
We've been about 640 miles.
Dinner at the Corner Stone Café the site of the geographical center [so they say]. Good meal.
