Day 27

An amazing day in North Dakota! I got an early start this morning and enjoyed pedaling through the nearly traffic-free, rolling terrain outside of Napoleon. The many ponds and wetlands were teeming with all sorts of water fowl and other wildlife. The initially calm air eventually turned into a gentle west wind, which provided me the opportunity to rack up some miles. By the time I reached Wyndmere, ND I had ridden 163 miles, the most ever in a single day!

Tonight we are blessed to be staying with Sherman and Renata Fellbaum, brother and sister-in-law of our Campus Lutheran friend, Sharon Kinden.  Sherman gave us a tour of his farm and the surrounding countryside. Renata provided a tasty meal. And our kids enjoyed catching toads in the front yard.

We give thanks for all of the special people God has placed in our lives!
