    Comments: Although I didn't start until almost 1 PM, I was still able to make good progress. Often there was no wind, and the wind was often from the north although it switched quite a bit. I almost ran over a beer bottle as I left today. It's amazing how much glass can be found on the highway. The shoulders also presented problems as they were basically gravel. A couple of cars also showed anger toward me being on the road rather than passing me normally even though no incoming cars were in the other lane. I would give anything if every day was as free from bad weather conditions as today was. I made it to Ortonville quicker than I thought I would at around 6 PM. I ate at the Hilltop Cafe and then looked around town and went to Big Stone Lake. The weather was as perfect as it can get.
