The mosquitos weren’t as bad in the morning but they were in sufficient numbers to get me packed up and on the road early. And that was a good thing for I needed to cover some miles today to make up for my low mileage yesterday.
I didn’t have a planned campsite for the night and ended up a good bit off my route going to a tribal campground on the White Earth Indian Reservation. I got routed onto 6 miles of a sandy dirt road to the campground. I should have looked closer at the route because there was a way I could have gone most of the way on pavement. It would have made it a more than 100 mile day but I wouldn’t have been devoured by deer flies for as long at the end of a long day. (See below)
Little Elbow Lake Tribal Campground was brilliant once I got there. There were loons calling to each other on the lake and it was a beautiful spot. Thank you to the White Earth Tribal Land Office for letting me camp there for free.
Slow and Steady
