Princeton tonight

Buckman where the bar was.
Well folks, again(I definitely remember coming to the unexpected Sunday Summit after Allison Pass in BC b4 arriving in Princeton) getting to Princeton (MN) was a throw the gauntlet down "test". Forecast was for 20-30mph wind from SSE and 84 degrees. Wind was gusting to at least 40mph and on my nose most of the day n someone's car reading was 89 degrees. I averaged just over 6mph and covered about 63 miles. I met a group of local farmers out for one of their buddies stag. They arrived on tractors at a bar as I was riding by so I stopped to ask about an old John Deere(I had driven a similar but older one on my uncles farm). They invited me for a beer and to join the stag if I wanted to get out of the wind but after the beer I left following paved country road directions from one of them. Low and behold 2 hours later I am going past another country bar and there they r calling me to come in. I waved and yelled that I had to keep going(not sure why in the damned wind). Most photos are tractors today n a picture of the crew in the first bar. Supposed to b 94 tomorrow??!!
