Alaska Day 37



This morning we were once again greeted with a great day for a ride. Miles City is one of John's old stomping grounds so he took us to one of his old favorites for breakfast, the 600 Cafe in downtown Miles City. After a good meal we hit the road. Soon the plains winds began, blowing strong from the side and front as the road winded to the north east. After about 3 hours the front causing the winds had pass and we welcomed the break the rest of the day. We crossed the border into Saskatchewan, Canada then took route 18 eastward into Manitoba. That makes a total of 6 Canadian provinces and territories so far! The border crossing have been pretty easy so far when we came out of Manitoba back into North Dakota the customs officials did do a quick check of our stuff this time. But, that's not bad considering what they could do. They have been know to take all of your stuff out and go through it then leave the owner with the cleanup. We stopped for the night in Bottineau, ND. total miles today = 430.
