Almost on TV

Fargo to Pelican Rapids
Today we split up with AJ, and crossed into MN. After killing a box of doughnuts we were on our way. While riding out of town we got our first "bikers are hot" yell from a car full of pre-teens. We all blushed! We camped in the town park and met a woman who was riding around the parameter of the US by herself, and we saw the worlds largest (concrete) pelican.
Pelican Rapids to Long Prarie
For lunch today we stopped by Otter Tail lake and saw a floating trampoling in the water and couldn't resist. It was a nice way to break up the day. Minnesota is becoming my favorite state to ride through with the nice rolling hills and pretty lakes, it makes a beautiful ride. Once in Long Prarie we stopped at the local Burger King for a snack, and asked if we could camp in their front yard. It was approved, but we got nervous being so close to all the traffic so we ended up camping in the fairgrounds. On the way there I hit on two old ladies and gained 2 new pin pals.
Long Prarie to Morrill
Today we finally found Krispy Kreme. I was in heaven and ate until I almost puked. To wash it down I bought a gallon of milk and we attempted to kill it while we sat outside the grocery store. While doing so a local came up to us and insisted that we come check out there tree house. They also offered lunch, so we were sold. Georgia and her mother Joyce showed us their really cool tree house. (http://www.saukherald.com/main.asp?FromHome=1&TypeID=1&ArticleID=5326&SectionID=12&SubSectionID=49)
and we had a great lunch with margaritas. While there a news lady called, and Joyce told them about us. We tried to come up with a cause and called the news reporter back to set up an appointment. Turns out we weren't going to be traveling close enough to her to do a story, but it would of been pretty cool if it worked out. In Morrill we stopped at a random farm, and stayed in their yard after asking permission.
So if anyone has a good idea for a cause let us know...

Nate,

My suggestion for your cause! The Ivory Billed Woodpecker is very hot right now; after thinking it was extinct for 60 years there have been reported sightings in Arkansas. It is bigger than Big Foot (in the world of orinthology anyhow). Google it and see for yourself. It's mystery and romance rolled up into one (slightly ugly) bird.

Keep having fun. We are loving your adventure.

Dena and Doug (who wants to make it perfectly clear that the woodpecker thing was NOT his idea).
