Hebron North Dakota to Bismarck North Dakota 64 miles. 1597 miles from the Pacific.
another great day to be on the bike. I rode with Trudy and Frank all day because it was there last day on the route. they will rent a car in Bismarck and drive back to California. I really enjoyed getting to know them and I’m sure we’ll stay in touch. we had a tailwind most of the day. we stopped for something to eat in New Salem. but everything was closed. because of the holiday. we stopped at a house where a man was watering his flowers. we had a nice conversation and then he offered us ice cream. Yum yum. and his wife appeared and invited us to their fourth of July family picnic. lots of friendly folks out here. we ate ice cream and headed for Bismarck. we arrived in town just as the parade was ending. there was an art fair and a food fest. we ate until bellies were dragging on the ground. Bismarck is a nice town. the highlight of my day was crossing the mighty Missouri River. we will walk up to the Capitol grounds for the fireworks tonight.

take care, happy 4th of July
