    Comments: I got a late start as I was waiting for my Libretto 50CT laptop order to arrive before I went. Since I left at 1 PM, I was doubting my chances of reaching Fessenden today. However, the winds were helpful at first, so I initially made good time. My pack seems to be decreasing my speed considerably so I hope to remove some items if possible later.

    Receipt from AJ's Motel in Fessenden, ND. As the sun set when I rode into Fessenden, my hands became so cold, I could hardly write clearly!!
