KOA - Albert Lea & Austin, MN
Miles:  69  MPH:  15  Max:  24  Total:  2072

Thought we were all alone in the Church last night, when I ran into Bret in the kitchen!  He is cycling from Chicago to the West and up to Canada!  He too stopped at the bike shop and they set him up to sleep at the Church!  Crazy!

About 30 miles into our ride, we passed a "Road Closed" sign!  Not having a better plan, we ignored it!  When we reached the barricades, we flagged down a car who volunteered to drive on through and come back to let us know if a bike could get through the construction!  We got through!

Stopping for ice-cream, sixty miles into our ride, we see Jen again!  She was in Albert Lea to visit her grandmother and recognized our bikes!  What are the chances that she would drive by just as we stopped? 

Greener farmland and rolling hills are now filling a landscape that is reminding  us of home.  We have left America's Great Plains.
Home at the KOA campground!
