Pedicab Man

South east winds were a big help today. We had a hard ride south into cross winds on county road 12 or 21 [depending on which side of dyslexia your on]. This road crosses oil fields owned by Hess Oil and also got us back on the Adventure Cycling route.

We had brunch at Lunds Landing a fish/hunting camp [best damn fishing guides in the world] on Lake Sakakawea [damned up Missouri River] after about 50 miles. Good grub. Mr. Lunds says he gets about 100 cyclist a year which is about $5k a year in revenue. I believe him. Then he said it was very hilly into Wiliston which I figured was a non-cyclist talk.....boy was I wrong. It's was 22 miles into town, 11 miles up hill at 6-7 miles per hour and 11 screaming miles down hill at 30 mph [white knuckles all the way]. Thankfully there was a liquor store slash kill Bamby [hunting supplies] store at the city limits [tomorrow is Sunday and my medical supplies are low].

Tomorrow we plan to be in Montana so here is summary of North Dakota.
North Dakota: land of laid back people, long lonely roads, cheap motel rooms and iceberg lettuce. History of the state: Indians. Lewis and Clarke visit 204 years ago. All buffaloes killed. Wheat planted.
