The motel breakfast was pretty minimal so we stopped here for reinforcements. |
It was a delicious choice. |
Bet granddaughters Tia and Alana would love these! |
Time to get moving. |
A tailwind is in our future! |
Mississippi River crossing #17 |
Our Lady of Lourdes is celebrating it's 100th anniversary. |
The museum is only open on Saturdays so we were not tempted to spend too much time here. |
The Lindbergh home. |
A part of the Soo Line South Trail at Blanchard Dam. We didn't go all the way across so it doesn't count. |
This section is paved. |
Holy Family in North Prairie. Doug took the opportunity to do a little cable adjusting. |
Mississippi River crossing #18 |
We had just left the restaurant when this veteran's funeral procession turned onto this street. We waited for everyone to get across. It is 11:45. |
We heard the first thunder at 12:30 but it was pretty far away. Of course we need to go across those train tracks. It is 12:45. Our hour is up. |
Shelter showed up just a little after it started raining at 1:00, so we used it to get properly attired and turn on our taillights. It was too warm for rain pants. |
We only have about 5 miles to go. |
This is the Highway 15 bridge over the Mississippi at Sauk Rapids. |
The underside is part of Island View Park. It was scenic and it was dry so we played around a bit. Donna made 6 circles before Doug was happy. |
About a mile later we both made more circles. |
So we could be on top of the 9th Avenue bridge. |
Mississippi River crossing #19 |
Almost there! |
And "there" is a pretty darn nice place to dry out. We consulted all our weather sources and decided this would be a good place to stay tomorrow too. |
