We started the day in flat farmland, but soon made the transition to classic northern Minnesota rolling hills with lakes and woods. It was perfect day of riding, with moderate temps, sunshine, a light breeze at our backs, beautiful scenery, and for the most part, good roads. Highlghts included a quick tour of Itasca State Park, where we saw the headwaters of the Mississippi, and meeting Cindy for lunch at Lake George. Tonight we're in Walker Bay, 76 miles from Mahnomen, and a world apart.
Itasca State Park is both beautiful and interesting. Lake Itasca itself is pretty good sized, and at its northen end it overflows over a narrow rocky area (photo), and there starts the Mississippi! It's certainly worth seeing if you're in the area.
Today was the first full day without Kathy, and I miss her a lot, but I talked to her several times. She and her family are doing well, getting ready for her dad's big move on Thursday.
