I mentioned yesterday how the nice thunderstorm would cool things off, and how good that would be. Well, at about 3 o'clock this morning, it wasn't so nice. I thought we were going to be in Oz. First the rain started, then we heard clunks. It was hail! Fortunately not too bad, and the hail stopped after a while. And the lightning was like a strobe light for about 20 minutes. Unbelievable. Then the wind. Yikes! The RV was rocking. At any moment, it would take off. But it finally ebbed away, and we fell asleep again. I think we were awake for about an hour and a half because of it.
The area south of Winnipeg is very French. We stayed in Ile des Chenes, and almost every other town name is French. Even the Seine River is here! This is the diversion, but we did cross the Seine earlier.
We crossed the border into Minnesota. One customs guy at the border. Not exactly a high-traffic area.
A town we stopped at for gas.
We stopped at Thief River Falls for lunch and some grocery shopping. Interesting name for a town.
We're now just south of Bemidji, Minnesota. We arrived around 2:30 this afternoon and set up. More thunderstorms were around us, but not overhead. I've had enough of those.
Next to us is an RV and the people have 2 retrievers. They went out for a while, and there they were, looking at us. So cute. "How much is that doggy in the window?" The 2nd one is sitting up on the left.
After dinner, we went on a short hike on a local trail. Mark Woodley, we thought of you when we saw this licence plate.
Tomorrow we continue on into Michigan, and south of Lake Superior. We're getting closer!
