A 61 mile day saw us reach our destination in Mahnomen, MN just before noon. Reaching Minnesota feels like a major milestone. So far it's flatter than anything we experienced in North Dakota, with lots of fields of corn and soybeans and several small farm towns with friendly folk, but tomorrow we will defintely be in the "north woods," and the Great Lakes aren't far behind.
Unfortunately, today Kathy left us this morningfor a little over a week, to be with her father and siblings in Michigan. Her father is moving into assisted living this week, and Kathy very much wanted to be there to help everyone with the transition. It was a tough decision for her to leave the bike trip, but Rich and Cindy and I all supported her in it. It will be strange not to have her with us, especially for Cindy, who is now managing the motor home and all the support functions by herself. Predictably, Ginger was quickly promoted to being a front seat passenger! One of Kathy's very important jobs has been arranging for all of our camping locations. Typically for this very responsible woman, last night she made sure all our camping arrangements were made and communicated to the rest of us for the timethat she will be gone. Thaks, Kath!
