Last evening, all night, and early morning the mosquitoes kept us company at our campsite. There were a gazillion of them all over our tent. We are thankful for a good tent. My entertainment was to snap my finger and fling them off the netting (I'm easily entertained). They escorted us off in the morning as we packed up in record time. Here's a good motto that we were reminded of.
This was an easier days ride. We still encountered a few rollers on our way to Boulder Junction (still Wisconsin) but nothing like yesterday. And then our final 13 miles was a surprise as we rode a bike path along county route K that is not identified by Adventure Cycling. Wild flowers lined most of roads and we were surrounded by many small lakes and forests as we pedaled our way through the day. The skies were clear with a few puffy clouds and the winds were very light. A good day in all.

We also encountered another tandem heading west. We are now more than half the way home. We could not resist the thought that we are glad we are us and not them. Eastern Montana is an awful big state. We are looking forward to Mackinaw Island and the east shore of Lake Michigan.
