• Day 5: NSTR

    July 1, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

    NSTR = Nothing significant to report.

    Slept great at HD, but one of my tent poles came apart during tear down. I think I can restring it with some fishing line tomorrow 🤞. If not, Cabela's might have replacement poles.

    I used some points to book a hotel near Twin Cities HD because they're doing my 55,000-mile service in the morning (thanks, Alec!). I had hoped to get that done in Duluth so I could stay in the round Radisson next to the bowling alley, but HD couldn't fit me in. Oh well. Their loss. And Steve wasn't very helpful 😞.

    Very short day today, but still productive. I actually had a great run on I-35 from Duluth to Minneapolis, only coming out of cruise a few times over the 125 miles. Best run so far (and probably ever 🤣🤣).

    My Tour of Honor total visits has risen to 403, and on this run I've completed Michigan and Wisconsin 😋. Only 7 Doughboys, 5 veteran cemeteries, and 4 Gold Star memorials left to reach 50 stops in those categories 😁.

    So happy to sleep in a bed tonight and soak in the shower. I'm not doing laundry here though because I have my clothes set to a number of days (barring emergency changes and that's never good 🤣).

    Later✌️

    Miles: 487.1
