No rain!!! Today we biked predominantly west, still following the Mississippi River as we get close to its origin. We have been on or near the river for over a week, and have been able to see it transform from a major industrial artery to a fairly small river with no navigable components. Tomorrow I think we head away from the Mississippi, continuing Northwest toward North Dakota.
Today we passed through farms and more farms; very flat. We are staying in a campground on the banks of the river; quite beautiful. Not much else to report.
