_Day 58 - 11 August - 216 Miles
St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
Great River Road Scenic Byway
_The Parks

Flood warnings altered our route from the Wisconsin side to the Minnesota side of the Great River Scenic Byway after we left St. Croix Falls. The Road This was my day for a “dumb drop”. I stopped to look at a building to see if it was the NPS Visitor Center and lost my balance as I turned to look over my shoulder. All I can say is, if my number was up to go down, better a dumb drop than a crash! Maybe it just helps my ego to think that way. Lodging A biker in the parking lot of the Taco Bell in Winona just shook his head and said, “I had no idea you could fit so much stuff on a Sportster!” Thom chatted for a while as I walked across the street to see about a room. The clerk came down a bit from their standard charge and it was settled. |
