Day 27 June 26, 92km, 25°C heavy showers followed by sun. S. wind

International Peace Gardens to Cartwright.
We had a record slow start to our day as we left the campsite at 1:55 pm. We awoke at 6:30 to light rain so we stayed in bed. At 9:00 we had wind and heavy rain so we stayed in bed. At 10:30 the sun came out so we left everything to dry and rushed over to the park café for breakfast (breakfast ends at 11:00). We had a nice breakfast and a good chat with the lady who manages the café. We returned to our tent to dry things out, pack up and depart. We immediately hit the US border which took another half hour to process TimG (an alien). We finally hit the open road at 2:30 and rode about 40 km east through North Dakota and then returned to Canada. The guard in Canada spent more time chatting with us than usual because he was curious about our trip (and appeared to have a very quiet border post). We carried on to Cartwright where we are spending the night in a motel because thunder showers are forecast.
