We are back in the U.S.A. We arive there in Minnesota state and ride into Grand Portage, where we visit the National Monument. After this we follow the coast line of Lake Superior all the way to Duluth. In Duluth we replace the bottom bracket of Fred's bike, because the bearings were worn out. Joe of Stewart's Bikes and Sports store helps us to replace the bottom bracket. With the new bearings we quickly ride through Minnesota to the border of South Dakota. When leaving Duluth, the forests are replaced by farmland. Just before the border we find a big fish in Madison (see photo). In the middle of the prairie of South Dakota (around Highmore) we pass the midway point of our cycling trip (± 3500 km). Eventually we arrive at the Badlands National Park. In extreme heat we cycle through this park on sealed and on gravel roads, enjoying the really beautiful surroundings. We now just entered the Black Hills, which we will explore tomorrow.
