The last four days, since departing Glacier, have been a bit of a blur. A gorgeous, scenic blur, but a blur nonetheless. I'm writing now from Sandpoint, Idaho, a thriving metropolis (population 7365) and the start point of my final stretch.

A lot of people on the road (and following along from home) have been asking about what I eat on tour, so this is a shorter than usual ramble on that topic.

The last three days I have had the incredible pleasure of biking towards, around, and inside of Glacier National Park. It's been incredible.

I made it to Fargo, North Dakota! I'm at just about a thousand miles, and delighted with where this trip has taken me. I have a couple logistical updates and a lot of gratitude for the kindness of strangers. But first, a few scenery pics:

Mystery of the week: what's the story with these cylindrical buildings with trees growing out of them? (I have no idea; my guess is old silos, replaced by more modern ones?)

I can't believe it – I've been on the road for two weeks. In that time, I've pedaled over 800 miles and within parts of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Greetings from Minnesota, friends! I crossed the Mississippi this afternoon and am spending the night at Afton State Park, which has many things to recommend it, including plumbed toilets, a biker-specific campsite, and swimming in the river! And let me tell you, cooling off in a chilly river after a long day of biking is pretty ideal.
