The 35 mile ride turns right and follows the lake back to McQuoid's in Isle.
OH! We'll go right past my house! We can stop and use the bathrooms, Becky, and let the dogs out!
Thanks, Caincando. I was going by the map in one of my MN trails books, which starts it in Onamia. I didn't know where McQuid's was.
An aside: I just had another root canal this morning with a post put in at the same time. They loaded me with pain killers and I came home and took a nap. I dreamed about our ride. I don't remember the specifics now, except there was a long wooden bridge at one point (not in real life) and I turned around and there was Becky, high up on a cliff with several hundred people waving! Now, I am ashamed to say, for the whole previous dream....I had totally forgot about you guys and was riding alone! When I looked back and saw Becky waving happily, I thought, "Oh, Crap! Where are the other guys********** Did I leave them stranded up here at Mille Lacs, lost and hungry in the woods?" Then I woke up. It was the drugs, I tell you. The drugs.
