We left on the June 28th and the storms that caused the original flooding were on the 27th. It rained again hard all day on July 1st and later in the week when I was farther south I saw radar that showed more rain and storms up that way so I am not surprised that it was still flooding. I don't know why the train derailed but I heard it was a godawful mess so I guess they still don't have that cleaned up either.

Did you take the ECT from Fort Plains to Little Falls? It was a muddy quagmire there when we went through on the 29th. Took us two hours to push our bikes less than a mile through sticky ankle deep mud.

Where you headed from there?
