Oh…. tired! And dirty and gross! We packed up as soon as we could, wringing as much water from our things as possible so as not to carry excess weight. We had our picnic breakfast in the potty room and said our prayers. Likely that’s the first time either of those activities have happened in there. We were on the road by 7:08, which, all things considered, was pretty good. The wind felt like it was against us until Charlie tried going the other way. Mostly it just blew constantly and forcefully from the south-west. Charlie asked me if I prefer the mountains or the wind on the prairies. Mountains at least are predictable. You go up, you see the summit and pound towards it and then it’s very likely you’ll get to go down on the other side. You can’t count on the wind. It does what it wants for as long as it wants. Charlie buffeted the blowing forces for me much of the ride today. We are both tired. But we have a Warmshowers host in Red Cliff. We won’t get to meet them because they have gone to their place in Montana for a week. They have given us the code to get into their garage and have told us to use the home like it’s our own. Such trust! Amazing! Thank you Jim and Susan Vanderslute! 
When we pull into this home, I am awed by the beauty and comfort of this home. I am afraid to leave any indication that we’ve been there. We took our tent out and set it to dry in the garage, along with our sleeping bags. They, thankfully, aren’t wet. I scrubbed every bag and they are upside down in the garage as well. All our clothes went into the wash. I mean all. Charlie and I are sitting around wearing towels as we blog. His site is:

He says we should combine them at the end and call them “Facts and Feelings”. Hmmm….I wonder which mine would be…..?

Hi Wendy,
I have been reading your posts since day one but have finally subscribed to your blog so now I can tell you how awesome I think you are and live vicariously through your trip! There is no way my bottom would do what yours is doing, it would revolt BIG time and make me check into a FOUR SEASONS and not allow me to check out until I had disposed of my bike…
You make us look lame because when we bike we do much shorter distances but do share your good food and drink attitude at the end of the day! In fact we will be be in Denmark around the same time you are finishing your adventure.
Keep pedalling and I/we will keep reading and being inspired but what you are doing!
