While, technically it was "down" to Fergus Falls from Cormorant, it took nearly eleven hundred feet of climbing to get there.  I've only been to Minnesota twice before, but I don't recall lots of hills?  Since it was a short 41 miles today, they were tolerable though.  And, they provided some scenic views.

Although it's been nearly perfect weather these two days in MN, I can tell the winter is tough by the pile of firewood this fellow had stacked up in his yard.  He's still got a few more logs to split, but it's quite impressive!

A lesson in "Minnesota speak": here it is not a "Passing Lane" but a "Bypass Lane".

Lastly, it appears that the good folks of Otter Tail County have taken it upon themselves to nominate me for their new sheriff!

Tomorrow will be a rest day, so I will take in the sights around Fergus Falls, and then ride the Minnesota Central Lakes Trail Saturday.  It is one of several converted railways in Minnesota converted to bike paths.
