Day 34. Battle Lake

We arrived here after a tough day of riding. Last night we got in at
dark covering 89 miles, could not find a camp or lodging and ended up
at a site with a space but no approval to camp there. We quietly
pitched our tent and called it a night.

Waking late we quickly packed up only to find Alicia has a flat.
There was nothing obvious so we pumped it up and rode into Cormorant
for breakfast. After breakfast it was low but not flat so I went
ahead and fixed it.

So. 10:30 and we've gone nowhere with southern headwinds to look
forward to.

We did fight the headwinds all day and covered only 52 miles. Again
no camp spot or lodging. I finally found a place at Battle Lake Motel
where we camped out back. The folks are great.

On the way we lunched at a fun cafe in Pelican Rapids - a nice little
town.
