Lund's Resort to Williston, ND- Day 31- 25.87 mi.
Big storms last night...fairly heavy rain, constant thunder and lightning, and some wind. The tent held up pretty well. Tai's side did draw up some water through the bottom of the tent. He may have been in a low spot. We were packed and ready for Lund's Restaurant to open at 7:00. We had a great breakfast at Lund's. I had Juneberry pancakes and they were delicious.
Lewis and Clark were also in this area according to the Lunds. On their return trip from the Pacific, Captain Lewis, dressed in buckskins, and one of his men were elk hunting near the present-day location of Lund's. The man hunting with Lewis mistook him for an elk and shot him in the derriere. According to the journals, Lewis was fine but very sore for a few days.
We left at about 8:15 toward Williston and into nearly one hour of uphill pedaling. What a way to wake up! There were several other challenging hills in our short ride today. It was short because we had many errands to do in Williston before heading into Montana tomorrow. I have completely worn out my biking gloves. They just fell apart. I found a new pair at the small bicycle shop in Williston. It is also laundry day and we have these last three blogs to upload. I hope to do a little grocery shopping before leaving as well.
Seventh Grade Question:
We will leave North Dakota tomorrow. We have met many kind and helpful people...after all, the word "dakota" in the Sioux language means what?

P.S. We have decided on a probable destination point for our trip. We think we will stop at Great Falls, Montana; about 525 miles further on. It is possible we may not find an internet connection between here (Williston) and Great Falls. Larger cities are few and far between. Of course, if we find a connection, we will be sure to upload the journals. Of course, we will bring it all up-to-date in Great Falls.
