July 14th was very eventful. After leaving the baseball field, I checked my maps and headed for a park Paula had suggested just outside town. It was about 6.30pm and still very light. I stopped at the park but it was a little crowded so decided to keep heading west. Stopping again about 50 miles later at the Norway Beach campground within the Chippewa National Forest I looked around but just didn't feel like staying. I headed a few more miles down the road and spotted Pike Bay campground. Rather than driving 6 miles down the dirt road to the camp, I took a quick right down a little road I spotted heading toward the lake. 
It was great. Single track, secluded and quiet. I got to park right in front of the water. Just what I felt like after the busy day I'd had. I figured out a way to climb into the back of the truck without removing the motorcycle and after a quick bite drifted off. I awoke in the morning to sounds like the land before time. Giant buzzing moths(thankfully not inside with me) and large pterodactyl like birds flying around. Enclosed in so much greenery it felt very strange and special. Another day in paradise on the road to the West. The adventure continues to North Dakota...
