Jim and Kermit's Big Adventure (well, big to us)

Great Job! I enjoyed the pictures and the comments. Thanks again for all of your work.

Jim

Thanks, and thanks to everyone who commented.

We had a great time, and our only regret is riding past the MOA Rally two days before it started. We really wanted to go, but it did not fit our schedule!

Day 11, Back into Canada


Up and early at 6, or was it 7? Kermit and I headed out towards breakfast. I told him to stop at the first McDonalds he saw for a quick and easy. He took me literally. Little did I know there are no McDonalds in all of North Dakota Kermit rode, and rode and rode, for 216 miles, tank to tank, forcing him to stop eventually for lack of gas.


Now I like to ride distance like the rest of you, but I rarely like 3 hours on one stretch! (NO, I am not Iron Butt material, though Kermit apparently is!)


After fueling at nearly empty, emptying a very full bladder, drinking a large bottle of water, and eating 4 mini-burritos for breakfast, we were on our way again



....

In the end, not a lot of miles, but good ones, and now we start the last push past the Great Lakes. Expect some good pictures from this part!


Not bad for a wimpy day!


Jim


PS For you ADV fans, I thought you might find this amusing

Here is some irony for you, my friend at work took this picture on the border of SD and ND:

Not only does it say no McDonalds forever, it is 205 miles!
