Thursday: July 23rd-- things actually go according to plan (Cormac)

We have a nice long day of biking. Since we had left the Kay's we have been using directions from mapmyride.com, and more often than not we would either end up ona dirt road (no good for our bikes) or we would be given a direction that didn't make sense (like to make both a left and a right at the same intersection) but the one thing that stands out about this day is that it was blessedly free of such incidents.

We pull into our campground with plenty of sunlight to spare. We realize that we are no longer in North Dakota any more when they charge us a whopping 19$ to camp. Also, we learned that if someone goes out of their way to convince you that there is absolutely no horse poop anywhere near your campground, you had better not wear flip-flops.

Apparently there was a horse shoe nearby and we were given a spot near where all the trailers and horses had been.

We had a lovely time that night watching the sunset, reading our books, plugging our noses and cleaning our feet. One interesting thing happened though... pretty late at night, a car pulled up next to our campsight, and a man and a very young woman (his daughter, we hope) go to sleep in their car. The next morning when lindsey has to get up early to use the ladies' room, she sees them down there cleaning up and heading off before the campground opened. Very suspicious we thought. I mention this because people keep asking us about the creepy people we ran into, and this, which wasn't that creepy, was about as bad as it got.
