Day 15 Riding to a day of rest

June 27th. We have decided that we are going to give ourselves and actual non-riding day and give our butts, and my wrists, which have been killing me since leaning on them too much coming down the mountain at Glacier, a much needed rest. We want our journey home to still be a vacation, not just a racking up of miles. So, we left East Great Fork and crossed Minnesota. It was rather uneventful. Although we had been warned about a possible lack of gas, compared to other areas especially, the opposite seemed to be true. Even towns with populations of 1200 would have 5-6 gas stations right along route 2. Only the large expanse of the National Forest in Minnesota seemed to be gas free, and if you were cutting through that at a diagonal, I could see how that would be a potential problem, if you hadn't planned for it. We only went through about 40 miles. We ended in Duluth, MN and we got a campsite at a rather overpriced campground called "Indian Ridge".
