Remarks
Today was great except I missed one turn and had to take a longer route to get back to the same highway I started the day off on. The winds picked up nicely from the northwest and I was able to keep sustained speeds near 25 MPH for long portions. The only thing really slowing me down was looking back checking for traffic. The shoulders on most of the roads also left something to be desired. Finally, I made it to Dassel where I stayed at a hotel for $50 which looked like it should have been more like $25

The above was a picture of a golf course in the town of Benson, MN.

This was a picture near Dassel, MN.  This was a very enjoyable day and I still remember it to this day!
