Day 10. June 23. We had a nice day of rest. Rained again last night and looked like rain when we got up. Todays destination is marquette, ia, which the map says is 30 miles. We started off uphill and we did a lot of pushing before the 17 miles to minona. Spent a lot of time on the shoulder, which wasnt paved, because of all the gravel trucks passing us. Pulled into winona cold, wet, and exhausted and had lunch at jody's bar and grill. Left Winona at 1:45 and had 13 miles to go. Not looking forward to it, but the road turned out to be mostly flat with some hills and we were able to cruise around 15-16 mph and made it to Marquette in less than an hour. Actually, put 38.9 miles on.
