THIS IS WHAT A BAD IDEA LOOKS LIKE


We made it to North Dakota.

The above photo was taken at a state line bar/casino by the lovely bartenders, who, in their effort to do a great job, totally overserved our greedy beer eyes/stomachs.

We basically celebrated another state about 20 miles too early and disaster soon followed.

The fellow in the CRAFT shirt is Zach, who has been riding with us since Saco, MT. Dude is genuinely cool as shit, and also just got his architecture degree (aaron, check him out). Unfortunately, upon exiting the bar/casino after too many drinks apiece, Zach realized that he had lost his tent poles somewhere in the last 25 miles... So he rode back and looked for them with only an hour left of daylight.

Bummer thing is he didn't find them and now has in his posession a pretty much useless MSR Hubba Hubba tent. I hope he can get his poles replaced. He got a ride to Willison, ND and is now couchsurfing with us. At least he isn't spending the night in the worst horde of mosquitos that I have EVER experienced (yes I've been to AK in the summer).

Anyways, we are going to try to leave ND in the dust like so many Twisted Tea glass shards.

Keep reading the blog folks, it's supposedly interesting.
