Day 33

Our motel was really a few attached apartments rented by the night, week, I’m sure they would have rented on by the year… if you wanted to stay in Chaplin for a year. It was nice to have two separate rooms, with separate TV’s. I flipped around the 15 channels for a minute before going…

Day 32

I had CRAZY realistic dreams last night. I mean to the point I thought, ‘is this a dream? I’d better get up.’. I stood up, looked around the dark room and as I turned I realized I was rolling over, because I was still asleep in bed! Shortly after that a rolling thunder woke me…

Day 31

We both woke up before the alarm. I didn’t know Jerry had woken up as well so I laid there worrying I didn’t set the alarm. Finally I got up to take a pee, of course I spent the entire time in the bathroom terrified the alarm was going to go off. I laid down…

Day 30

We got back to the room early, with the time change and the city locations. My glasses and now cell phone case are drying their freshly repaired glue fixes. I had already scheduled the post for yesterday’s ride and figured out a few more things in WordPress. I tried my hand at ‘The Oregon Trail’….

Day 29

Our dinner from last night was pretty good. It was an order at the counter and get a number to put on your table kind of place. They had pizza, burgers and fried everything, and of course breakfast for us on Day 29. Dinner had two interesting things though, our order taker brought us our…

Day 28

We woke up and Jerry headed to the shower. I fell right back asleep. It was weird, I had gone to sleep not too late, the bed was nice, AC at a good temperature. I was listening to a binaural beat on my computer with wireless head phones and I was pretty sure I had…

Day 27

We woke up early and went downstairs for a quick breakfast. The bike shop in Gand Forks helped Jerry but unfortunately they pointed out more problems I had that they did not have the parts to fix. The only (ONLY) option in our path was Minot. Three days ahead to this morning, Day 27. I…

Day 26

We went downstairs for breakfast, we knew the menu because it was the same for last nights dinner too. The place was fine, a little rough but fine. Thankfully breakfast was better then the breakfast I had for dinner, because that was the only non meat thing on the menu. This was the third place…

Day 25

We woke up and got ready for breakfast. I hadn’t slept well the last three nights. Not so bad that it was really a thing, but this morning I’m pretty over it. But there is a waffle machine. When I go to get coffee a woman follows closely behind. She has the look of ‘I…

Day 24

We woke up on the early side fearing the continental breakfast would be lacking. We were pleasantly surprised. Not the make your own waffles we love but it all worked well. Much later in the day we would end up talking about how much the hotel breakfast saves. Not only the money, which is obvious,…
