Kim. When we made the turn, Kim said I hope theres not a lot of hills. We stopped at an intersection to take some aleve and a pick-up truck happened along. I flagged him down, asked if he was going to Valley City, and how much for a ride. He said no charge and we loaded the bikes in the back. He was a very nice guy. He was an outfitter for white tail deer and bird hunts. He had a loaded carbine between the front seats he said he used for coyote. It took us over 1/2 hour in that truck to make the last 18 miles. After seeing all the hills, it would have taken us another 4 or 5 hours of biking. I told the guy I think he saved our marriage. It started raining before we got to the motel and as we unloaded the bikes it really let loose. Found out later a tornado had touched down just a few miles south of us. Someone was watching over us. If anyone wants to go hunting, I have
George's card. Got a 20 ft rental truck, we're on our way home enjoying the ac and the smooth ride.

today and are camping at Ashby resort and campground on christina lake. We didn't have to pay for showers tonight, so that's a plus. There are a lot of families here and they're shooting off firecrackers,which we've been hearing the last few nights. We've been traveling with another bicyclist which we are happy to have his company. He, mike is from green bay, is going as far as fargo, which should take a couple more days, and then turning around. Happy 4th of july.

ashford from green bay. Rode with him for the rest of the day and pulled into springvale rv park to camp. Only $3 per person for bicyclists because she thinks we're all crazy. Very, very nice people. One cleanest place we've been to so far. The bathrooms r even air conditioned. Put up the tent, took a shower, put our clothes in the washer (laundry room also had ac), ordered a pizza (they had no health food) and then the storm hit. Ate pizza and watched storm. We all had to congregate In the bath and laundry rooms. The electricity went out, high winds, and some trees fell. Needless to say, the washer did not finish its cycle and power will not be restored for 12 hours. People offered to let us sleep in their cottage. And we could also camp up in the recreation room. Wrung out our clothes and the owners mom and dad took our clothes to their house to finish. A gentle rain
falls on the tent and we are cool for the first time in two days.

cascade we met a couple who own a campground
And it had showers. We decided to stay there instead of pushing on in the heat. Set up camp by the river. We're the only ones in the Tent section. I highly recommend it.
