Day 36: to Pine River, MN

66.5 mi


As we left Little Falls we passed another chicken "condo". Eeww! I'm so glad I never eat anything "chicken". What a terrible existence.

At 30 miles we got onto the Paul Bunyan Trail, the longest rail-to-trail in the U.S.


These trails are designated for Snowmobiles in the winter so the duel purpose is why Minnesota
has so many of these nicely paved bicycle trails.

I don't usually stop at some of the cafes or eating places along the way, but today Monika needed to find a computer to check her email so after our ride, we walked 1-mile into town. What do you know, Ole and Lena have a new soda shop.


It is run by two sisters who found all the stuff in the basement. It was a step back in time. She made me a great lemon-lime soda for $.80.


Then we walked to Dark Cravings, a great little coffee shop with a computer and iced coffee for Monika, while I talked to the owners friend who has a grandmother from Austria. The owner makes his own pies. Just one piece of strawberry-rhubarb left. I resisted, so I would be good and hungry for Lynne's last dinner.
