Here is the site we woke up to this morning on the Mighty Mississip!  These 2 swans were paddling around behind our camper!  What a beautiful sight!

Pulled out about 8:30 this morning and went on up the road to Grand Forks, MN and took route 2 heading West, spending the night at "Spirit Lake Casino and Resort", pretty nice campground on Spirit Lake..., south of Devil's Lake.  Very quiet!

Our campsite at Spirit Lake Casino:

Hopefully, tomorrow we will be in Canada!  Sort of planning our route this evening, we kind of travel along and decide while we are DRIVING! Sort of flying by the seat of our PANTS travel!  Hopefully more to add tomorrow!

Well, after several months of planning and preparation, adding more storage, etc, and securing some of the needed items in MORE bins,  loaded the fridge and had the rig detailed.  We even managed to squeeze in an emergency dental appointment and 2 funeral visitations in the last few days.  Pulled out from our North central Illinois home about 8:00 A.M., heading up through Wisconsin to Minneapolis and north.  Spent the night in Monticello, MN.  Quiet little "Mom and Pop" type campground, but we had a nice blacktop pad for our site with the back of our camper about 5 feet from the Mississippi River!
