Those favorable westerly winds have deserted me and today I peddled 117 miles fighting 14 mph headwinds - Grand Forks, ND to Bemidji, MN. But I enjoyed the sun, especially since rain was forecast. I'm a volunteer so you won't hear me complain.
We passed Itasca, MN, the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Tonight we are "up north" in Bemidgi, the first town on the Mississippi. When I worked for Potlatch, I visited Bemidgi a number of times since they operated an OSB mill and a stud mill near by. Bemidgi also has a large lake in the center of town that completely freezes over in winter and is a popular ice fishing site.
Wini and I have rarely seen trees since leaving the Rockies - until now. Lots of trees in this part of Minnesota (see photo).
God is good.
