You can see why Michael was impressed with the good naturedness of the North Dakotans. The only problem was with the mosquitos (first picture he entitled "hiding out from the skeeters")
One of the big crops in North Dakota - Canola; look, the group is abiding by the rules of the road and riding single file!; lots of positivity in North Dakota - even in the road signs; and Michael in the geographical center of North America.
The group goes to the movies...and stores the bikes with the video games! Sean, the leader of the pack; a lunch stop in the only shade around, and the forgotten Grange Hall (my favorite picture so far!)
The report from Michael is that there wasn't much going on in eastern Montana except for lots of folks who hate Californian's. He was happy to get to North Dakota.
Michael makes it to the Summit of the Continental Divide. The group shot is of "the fellas" that Michael was riding with through Montana and North Dakota.
An incredible series of shots heading up to Logan Pass - the top picture is the famous "Weeping Wall" - which, according to the Glacier website, is best seen in June and July. Obviously, Michael was there at the right time!
Here at the Center for Land-Based Learning, we all miss Michael. But, we know that he is off on a grand adventure crossing the country by bicycle (hopefully the tires that we gave him for his going away present are still intact :-) and having a wonderful time. This blog is our attempt to keep up with him - we are forcing him to call us back and give us updates as to where he is and where is going next!
We will try as best we can to enter information as we get it - and hopefully even pictures. He has promised pictures!
We will also keep Michael updated by letting him know how things are going here at the Farm on Putah Creek in Winters from time to time.
