Another great day on the bike. We went approx 500km today enjoying the sun and the high temperature of 31’C again.This morning Grant noticed some rattling noise from the front tire and at on of the rest stops called our mechanic in Markham.
He was not sure what it was however had 2 possibilities, but felt that neither of the issues would cause any problem with riding since we have full brake functions. Grant and Al checked the tire and didn't see anything obvious. I never feel comfy with unusual noises from the bike, but Grant assured me there is no safety issue with this. So, I trust him and off we went. 
We passed the Mississippi river and pulled over at a rest stop beside it. Pat and I went for a walk along the shore and look what we saw!!! Now we are not sure if it is an alligator or crocodile! Anyone know?? Grant and Al weren’t sure what it was. We travelled the interstate at first then changed to a smaller hwy to head east to Oshkosh.
We passed a large wind turbine farm, large dairy farms and corn crops. The flat land has now changed to rolling hills. Looks like they have had lots of rain as the rivers are overflowing their banks. We are in a mom and pops motel tonight in Omro, just outside of Oshkosh and it is probably the dumpiest place of our trip. It is like a junction experience uggggg! Our room smells of something. Not sure what but so far even with the air conditioner on it still sticks!
Oh dear. Did you check under the bed???
ReplyDeleteNoooo LOL..and I'm not going to!! We have a big puddle in the bathroom, Grant thinks from the sink leaking so that is probably the issue as it is a musty type of smell.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and sleep and block the odour out !!
