Today's ride was supposed to be only 35 miles, which is very short even when we haven't had a rest day the previous day. I was able to extend it to 41 with some scenic detours.
Things we saw which we would have missed had we stuck to the cue sheet: Houseboats on the Mississippi, a turtle crossing sign (we've seen a tremendous number of squished turtles), and a "This Road Not Maintained" sign (the road was actually quite nice).
We would have seen the National Eagle Center in Wabasha anyway. The center was great but easy to see in just an hour.
The next few days are very short, and we only have one week to go before the end of the trip. Times goes fast.
