66 miles in 4:45; with a slight tailwind of course. WI-35 is pretty flat between PDC and La Crosse. The weather was cooperative again today; all the rain in the area took place while I was not there).
There was a short detour at the north end of PDC due to street flooding. The Mississippi is high (see pic below). Most of the ride was below the tall bluffs and next to the river which provided some great views. I passed two lock and dams which appeared to be passing full flow. The width of the river for miles upstream of the dams is immense. About 15 miles from La Crosse there was an Amish group making repairs to one of their rigs. This appears to be a simple, honorable lifestyle but I don't understand how/where they draw the line with the use of technology (I'll have to Google it).

Another great day of riding in beautiful Wisconsin. Only two more days of riding here then it's on to the final state of Minnesota. Tomorrow's ride takes me to Pepin, WI.
