84/1644/2723 Original plan was to ride to Devils Lake but all the motels and campgrounds are full due to a Cabala's fishing tournament. So we see another town up the road and sleuth Suzanne gets a motel room with Wifi , only one of two left. Stop in Devils Lake and have a sub, no sights different today, lots of farmland with wheat and hay. Have a nice easy ride, tailwind but just 8 mph today at the back, few hills and good shoulder on the roads. I average today 16.74 mph vs 12 mph in the mountains. Gold Wing Bob from last nights campground passes me around mile 73 , he must have slept in and had a big breakfast! Interesting motel here in Lakota, ND. Sign on the door says $ 300 fine for cleaning game birds in your room and towels are available in the lobby to clean your gun or dog, don't use the bathroom towels or you'll be charged extra! We aim to make your stay enjoyable! There is a restaurant and bar here so we will try it for dinner, maybe they will have game birds? Nice to talk with the sibs and Mom for her Birthday lunch. Takes a long time to update the blog when we get so many days behind........now to the maps to recalculate distances 2 go....tomorrow I'll do a long ride between here and Fargo. There are no good places to stay, so I'll ride till I'm tired then Suzanne will come pick me up and take us to Fargo. Then I'll start at the stop point and cycle through Fargo and stay in Minnesota somewhere on Fargo's East side. If we get comfortable with this method, we can up the mileage with Suzanne shuttling between start and stop places, increasing the daily mileage as we will not be constrained by motel/camp availability. We'll see how it goes. I expect to find more frequent stop points as we get into Minnesota and less desolate areas. Perfect would be motels every 20 miles or so as you find them along the interstates.
