Long day..
We leave Wall and Wall Drug without regret and hit the long, flat and hot road East. Pretty boring riding unless you like looking at wheat and corn and soybeans and cows and wheat and corn, and more corn, now I know where all 'High Fructose Corn Syrup' comes from. There must have been some strong storms or tornado that went through some places, some big silos were ripped apart. Construction sections were fun, stopped for 20 minutes on new black pavement, 95 degrees, no shade, no wind....
On the way, we pass lots of beehives on both sides of the road, and then a large swarm of bees hits us, and then more bees for a mile or so. Luckily we don't get stung, but I chuckle. We had just passed 2 Harleys dressed in their usual Harley attire, no helmet, no jacket, and one had no wind screen. I can't imagine what 100 bees feel like hitting you at 70... But I guess if you're not smart enough to think you need a helmet, you probably don't need one.
Finally, after 7 hot hours in the saddle, we're both a bit edgy, but we make it to Minnesota and a nice little hotel in Canby... Having a hard time finding a room for tomorrow night, (Saturday) as we head up into the lakes area. Heading out in search of some grub now...
