Taylor,ND - New Salem,ND (54 miles)
Earlier this week the goal been to get to Bismark by today. We didn't make it for a number of reasons, a constant head wind being on of them. More unexpected was Horse Fest in Taylor. Yesterday we were told there wad going to be a parade and other horse and cowboy related festivities. How could we pass that up?! So we agreed that before leaving Taylor we would watch the parade and get some pie.
We got going around noon, but we didn't get too far before needing a bathroom break. And this is when we met Tim. Tim is the local butcher who let us use his bathroom (the door on the left, the other one is the smoker). Zandy and me started talking to him a bit about his business, and before we knew it we were getting a tour and a lesson on how to butcher a cow. I had seen my dad butcher deer before, but I never realized how big a side of beef is!
Oh, and we lost and hour with a time zone change. We are in the central time zone!
Slowly the landscape has been changing. We are long out of the badlands and the rolling hills have gradually begun to flatten out. I really have no clue what the rest of North Dakota will bring.
