Lake Bonaparte to Grande Forks
The loons were calling at 4:30 Am this morning. Ducks started a few minutes later. The ground squirrels were busy rummaging the
campsite all night. They chewed the bite
valve off of Earnie’s camelback during
the night.
We started the ride just after 7:00 AM and headed off down
the backroad. It was a tree lined lane
and the sun shining through the leaves made beautiful speckled color. However it was probably not the color or the
lack of cars but the fact that it was a 7% down grade which made it a beautiful
ride. We earned the downhill from
yesterday’s climb. About 3 kms down the road we came to an unmarked Y. Luckily a car came by and gave us
directions. The downhill continued all
the way to the town of Curlew which was 45 kms. From there we had 20 kms to the Canadian
border and then only 10 km into Grand Forks.
An easy day and all set up by 11:00 Am.

Xena always knew squirrels were nasty and not to be trusted. Back in Canada,eh? Glad you had an easier ride today. Happy Canada Day! Ride safe.
Guess Earnie should have left instructions for the varmints on the proper use of a camelback..... Gary and Candy boarded their cruise yesterday under a blazing sun and the hot weather is to continue for the ensuing week.
Your tour has exposed us to endless magnificent scenery. Howard
