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,…

Day 23

We woke up, showered and headed down the road for breakfast. Last night during checking they told us the place just across the way had great breakfast. We had to run from the building because of all of the mosquitos laying in wait all along the outside of our motel room. It was very nice…

Day 22

We went to sleep knowing there was little options. No food in town till at least 8, then once on the road the towns and cities are becoming fewer and further between. We left early knowing we have to stop for breakfast and could possibly be going 100+ miles to the next “big” city.  We…

Day 21

We woke up and walked back to Route 28. The one good thing about getting lost yesterday was as we came out of the wrong direction, we commented on how at least we would have been able to get breakfast even if we missed out on dinner. However, luckily we actually stayed in a motel…

Day 20

We got up early and hit the hotel breakfast as soon as it opened. It was nice to have breakfast right inside the hotel. Waffles and the mixing of all different travelers.  Later we discussed how Jerry ended up paying more attention to a older couple giving travel advice to the woman working hotel breakfast….

Day 19

We got up early knowing we had to go across the street for breakfast and with the detour we had two options, 50 miles to just over the Wisconsin border or go another 30 past that to the next town with anything in it. Breakfast was good and we headed back to the room.  As…

Day 18

We thought ahead looking at the situation we were in for dinner and also ordered some extra food for breakfast when we got dinner. It was a nice start to the day. We made coffee in the room machine, watched a little news and had our breakfast. It also gave me an extra minute to…
