One major change from MT and ND to MN and onward is that there is no more public road going through private properties whose owners refuse to let bikers through (remember that grumpy man in an ATV – photo of day 16), forcing bikers to take either big detours or ride on interstate highways.
I noticed that farms in MN appeared to be smaller than in ND, MT and east WA. I didn’t see vast farmland for hours along the trail. Town sizes in MN are bigger – judged by their larger cemeteries. I saw foreign trucks driven by farmers, which I didn’t see in MT and ND. Anti-abortion signs disappeared, which are abundant in ND.
