15/07/10 Galloway - Blenker

This morning, Amelie is not going well. Miller's High Life beer is cheap and very bad. Amelie is not able to eat at all, has an headache and feels sick. Eventually, she eats some oatmeal but it is not an easy day. We are on the road C in the Marathon County. The road is not so bad but it is going up and down like crazy. At one point, we have to stop because yesterday's rain has flooded the road. We are tired and frustrated. In the last few days, we have been stuck with bad bike trails, detours, storms, tornados and now flooding. We take a rest and later decide to go on the county highway which has less chance to be flooded. Because of the storm, woods and fields now all look like swamps and therefore, there is a lot of mosquitos. Finally, Amelie knocks at a door in Blenker and asks a men to pitch our tent on his lawn. Distance: 80 km
