Princeton tonight
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??!!
