Day 5 Little Falls to Monticello MN 77mi

This is my irreverent photo of the day.  This is a 3 word charade that I will leave up to you to figure out.   The MRT signage along the road is supposed to stand for Mississippi River Trail but today stood either for More Rain Today or Monsoon Rains Today.  By the afternoon of a long ride we were having enough of it.  

Our ride today took us further south along both sides of the Mississippi and included Sauk Rapids and Saint Cloud.  

This was actually a display of vintage gas station in someones front yard in St. Cloud that was pretty impressive.

This photo is just a small portion of an extensive English garden, also in St. Cloud.

We dove under a picnic shelter next to this spillway just as the rain started to pick up for the afternoon.  

Our overnight stay turned into a cabin instead of a tent due to the rain at the end of the day.  It was heated allowing us to dry out at the end of a long ride.
