June 17, day 4. We lost our riding partner today. His dad picked him up in Atkinson where we enjoyed lunch with bobby and kids. We had to get off the hennepin canal because we couldn't travel over 6mph on the gravel. Decided to go north to fulton, il instead of muscatine Iowa. It seemed like less traffic. Had a good ride until we got lost. we were really tired when we got to the comfort inn in fulton. Tomorrow we will cross into Iowa and, hopefully, we will be on route again.
