Pelican Rapids, Minnesota

After our wild nite near Fargo (where they sounded the tornado alarms while we were getting drowned out in nearby Downer, MN) we spent many hours washing the mud off our tents and clothes.Thanks to Jeff and boys Nick and Taylor for saving us and being so kind to us!
Anyway, we didn't get riding till 10:45 and by then it was muggy and in the 90's and we were fighting headwinds and crosswinds. Oh, and back to climbs...
We only rode 35 miles to Pelican Rapids where we plopped down at some picnic tables in the city park. Soon a kind man came over to us with info on the Rails to Trails bike trail that we could take in 25 miles. It turned out that he was the priest of the Catholic church nearby. He offered to let us sleep in the cool basement where we could actually shower and get out of the oppressive heat for a nite.
Another trail angel...are we lucky or what?
