We're Now in Minnesota

Our progress eastward has now taken us into Minnesota. We crossed the state border from South Dakota 1 mile into our ride on Wednesday, then cycled for 76 miles in Minnesota. We reached our destination town, Willmar MN (population 18,000), at 1 pm, and were fortunate to find an excellent Greek/Middle Eastern restaurant for lunch and dinner.
