Sat. 22nd July
90 miles to Bowlus
All along cycle paths. First the central lakes trail, lots of lakes. Then the lake Wobegon trail, through farmland and near the side of a freeway (at times). Then the delightful soo trail, which was an old branch railway line and was beautiful, wild flowers alongside.
The night before there was thunder and lightening, fortunately my tent was not under trees, as branches came down in the night. Previously that evening I had also had another bleed from my lip. I had walked into Ashby and gone to the American legion for a meal. I had a beer (corrs light), I may add that this is only the 3rd beer I have had since Keith left!. Ordered my meal, and had to play bingo until it arrived (Friday night bingo night). When it came, the grilled chicken and frys looked good, but I forgot about the lip, and a few chips in and the blood started! This time the waitress was running over with ice, I decamped to the restroom until it stopped and had to take my meal back in a box. Managed to eat it before the rain came!
Bowlus is a small place with a nice green park, but you have to pay 10 dollors to camp there. So Jodie from the café told me to camp in her yard for free. I spent the 10 dollors on a meal in the café. No problems with the lip.
