92/2226/17 Poor sleep last night in Stillwater as the Dog Dog guys were up drinking and making noise till 1:30a, I overheard a shout match with another guest and the drunks, so I didn't get involved and that did not quiet them down. Leave just after 7a and stop at McD's down the street for burrito and coffee, then get lost. Go all the way back into town looking for route 26 and can't find. There is a footrace and lots of buses, traffic and runners milling about and I ask three for directions and get three differing answers, so I try my luck and after 18 wandering miles find my route 26, aka the Stagecoach trail. Interesting road that follows a hilly corridor through the trees, lots of cyclists out today as it is Saturday morning. Lots of hills today, my total climb in feet is over 3500, more than twice any day in the last week. Stop for a couple of breaks in quaint towns along lakes and the Mississippi. The route weaves back and forth between Wisconsin and Minnesota over the Mississippi. Sailboats on the water around lake Pepin and Lake City, a regatta or racing the local club today. Overcast and chilly but the wind is at my back most of the way. Nice finish along the Mississippi into Washaba Mn for the night. We find a local eat stop on the Mississippi along docks called Slippery's and chat with Tiffany who is single and travelling with her puppy bull dog Maddison. There is riverboat days festival here this weekend complete with a local parade. Looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight, may give beau some wine or beer to see if he will sleep past 5a!
