Day 24 Culberston to Williston




45/1350/3014 Nasty thunderstorms from 3a on and heavy wind keep us from getting a good nights sleep. Wind was strong enough to rock the van and t storms were right over us, very noisy. Breakfast at the western cafe was good and even the special was a lot of food. 15 mph tailwind makes for an easy ride with a few hills. No animals to be seen but again a lot of wheat fields swaying like waves in the wind. At Bainesville we hit road construction and Suz comes back for me as there is a two mile section that is not paved and they are blasting. We get through with no problem and I continue to ride into Williston. No motels have rooms but we find one at the international motel but have to wait, so we do laundry and check out the route out of town in the morning. Visit to Walmart for groceries and a bathroom scale, want to see what we weigh after 3 months on the road. It is raining on an off, but did not get wet on the bike. Finally get into our room and decide to just order pizza which we make quick business of. Good nights sleep tonight as there are no windows in this motel, so Beau cannot see the early morning light.
