OK---- I haven't had a post in a few days because we have been on the move. Actually the last day in S. Dakota was a fishing/reading day. Bill fished up one end and down the other 30 mile stretch of Spearfish Canyon. Beautiful spot and lots of time to read 76% ( on kindle) of The Goldfinch. Can't wait for book group- interesting story. We left S. Dakota (goodbye Wild Bill) and traveled to Minneapolis/St. Paul a 10+ hour trip--then crashed. Today we left Minnesota to head to Sault St. Marie, Michigan a 12+ hour trip. We decided to ignore the GPS and follow 2 different maps to take what looked like a more direct route....
WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN NH BY NOW....
We drove every back road in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. I drove the last 7 hour stretch and kept hoping to be here by dark and was getting antsy when we came upon a detour on a major highway. My whole thing was NOT TO BE ON A BACK ROAD IN THE DARK so I went out of my way to be on a major highway-------only to have a detour into the Hiawatha National Forest.
As we are driving on the detour, I read a sign that says, " DO NOT STOP FOR HITCH-HIKERS-- PRISON ZONE-- now I am really FREAKING OUT.
We are finally in the hotel (American side) trying to drink up all our scotch and vodka before we cross the border... OK signing off for the night...
