winona, mn

winona and the surrounding region got hit hard by flooding from the storm. we passed a town where the flooding picked up a whole house with the family seeking refuge on the roof. The water swept it off its foundation and dropped it on a set of train tracks by the road. Cassandra and Froseph made amazing tacos. We traded for some patches cassandra made. So good, at night we slept with the whir of the fan.

Our first stop in missoula was Free Cycles this amazing free bike shop built out of the old area 5 space. I worked on fixing up a bike while Micah played piano. They loaned us a couple of bikes to cruze around town with. My headset came loose halfway through the ride and I had to hump it back most of the way to the shop while micah got the right tool to bring back to me. Later we fed a little squirrle at the college campus until he got to onery and stole our peanut butter jar lid.
