DSCF2868 July 24, 2007 20:10:43 Melissa with "Team More Cowbell" at Red Bridge Park during our second evening in Park Rapids.	DSCF2883 July 25, 2007 6:51:29 There's mine and Melissa's shadows in a wheatfield as we set out the next morning. A bit blurry as I shot this while riding....	DSCF2885 July 25, 2007 7:17:20 This house was fenced off by a woodpile that went around the entire circumference of the lot. Impressive amount of wood!	DSCF2887 July 25, 2007 9:32:31 9:32, this must be rest stop number two for the day - somewhere South of Menahga
DSCF2889 July 25, 2007 10:57:8 Melissa chills out on the grass...	DSCF2890 July 25, 2007 11:04:53 The blistering heat and the nasty headwind just don't show in this picture....	DSCF2891 July 25, 2007 11:04:58 Melissa doesn't even look miserable in this shot - but we were both getting to the ends of our ropes.	DSCF2894 July 25, 2007 18:34:49 Cooling off in Wadena after a miserable day's ride.
DSCF2895 July 25, 2007 18:35:2 Trees everywhere - and we were well under the shade, thank goodness. Too bad about the train tracks - we were awakened about every 30 minutes all night as the freight trains barrelled through town with their horns blaring.	DSCF2896 July 25, 2007 19:05:12 Everybody clustered under the trees as well as they could.	DSCF2897 July 26, 2007 12:55:29 The first photo of this day is when we stopped for the day. Wadena to Fergus Falls was all highway and it wasn't really very interesting. Plus it almost rained on us so getting the camera out wasn't high on our list of priorities.	DSCF2898 July 26, 2007 12:55:35 Only two tents were closer to us than all of these - the plan was to have a perfectly quiet nights' sleep -for once! This plan was foiled by a street dance downtown, the music from which was quite audible up at the campground until midnight.
DSCF2900 July 26, 2007 12:55:59 Proximity to the luggage trucks was key - tomorrow is/was the last day and we wanted to be able to pack up and get out of there without lugging our gear across half of the campground!	DSCF2901 July 26, 2007 14:32:33 ..apparently there were going to be a fair number of troops returning the next day. The town was all set up for a big welcome.	DSCF2902 July 26, 2007 14:58:30 For some reason, the brickwork on this old building really caught my eye - Fergus Falls, MN	DSCF2903 July 26, 2007 14:58:38 ..detail of the same building - Fergus Falls, MN.
DSCF2904 July 26, 2007 15:00:58 I just liked the contrast - Pizza Shop AND "Fitness Centre" in one place!	DSCF2905 July 26, 2007 16:03:33 Is it just me? Full service gun shop and auto repair in the same building just seemed odd.	DSCF2906 July 26, 2007 17:38:3 I was sitting outside, reading, when I suddenly looked up to the NW and realized that there was a good chance of rain. I had just enough time to batten down the hatches and jump into the tent before all heck broke loose (for about 5 minutes).	DSCF2912 July 26, 2007 19:00:13 An island in the park at Fergus Falls had the most amazing collection of (loud!) Egrets I've ever seen. One of the other bikers in the camp called it "poop island".
DSCF2913 July 26, 2007 19:02:31 More irony - this paper on the information board is soaking wet.	DSCF2914 July 26, 2007 19:02:38 One can only wonder what kind of conditions can cause a tire to spontaneously explode!	DSCF2917 July 27, 2007 6:41:17 Breakfast on our last morning was at The Salvation Army. Best breakfast of the entire trip! The people were friendly, the food was tasty.... excellent!	DSCF2919 July 27, 2007 9:25:9 The Central Lakes Trail from Fergus Falls to Alexandria lacked a bit of visual excitement....
