Day 17

We got an early start this morning although it seemed to take a long time to get to our lunch destination. We stopped 35 miles into the ride. We would have liked to have gone further but there were no restaurants for a 90 mile stretch. Our waitress got a kick out of watching us eat because it was non-stop trips to the salad bar. After we finished eating we decided that it ws time to change our rear tires due to the mileage. We then continued on for 25 more miles into the next town and stopped for some snacks at their city park. We were sitting at a picnic table and kicked up our legs on a bench. Before we knew it we were both asleep. Believe it or not we slept (unintentionally) for an hour each on a bench at the picnic table. It was a rude awakening at 3:30 in the afternoon knowing that we had 70 miles to go. After this we both went into "game time mode" and powered into Carrington, North Dakota. We got there at 8:45 p.m. and convinced the local pizza place to stay open and let us eat there. After this we found a city park and set up camp.
