Day 7 - Little Falls to Monticello

Heavy fog off the river this morning - burned off by mid morning, but brought a real chill to the first few miles.   nice riding along a already big river - lunch by the local swimming hole on the Clearwater river.  Sad to say goodbye to Bryan and Ralph.

we are more than ready for a rest day.  Bodies are a bit beat up - 7 days of riding takes a bit of a toll.  If nothing else, my rear end is looking forward to not being on a bike seat for a day!

1876 church - built in what is now the middle of nowhere by a Catholic priest who built 5 churches across this area.  Amazingly lived to be 95 years old - having been born in 1785!

nice memorial to a paper mill that is no more.  Near St. Cloud.
