We were up about 4:30am so we packed up and hit the road. Dad found a breakfast dive that seemed to also be a liquor store. The breakfast was decent though. We stopped at a store to get some fruit and veggies and also bought a couple new pillows for the camper. On the road we saw a deer, some donkeys, a bear, and the coolest thing was that there was a dead, bloated deer on the side of the road with a HUGE bald eagle sitting on top of it. At International Falls we stopped and got gas and I took over driving. There was a really long line. We had to actually turn the wrong way to get into line for the border. It only took us about a half hour and there were just as many people coming back over the border too. That was my first time being the driver going across the border. It went pretty smoothly. The guy was telling us about a solar farm in Saudi Arabia was bigger than the city of Chicago. Toward the end he asked me if we were leaving anything up there. I answered, “We aren’t planning on it but I am the one driving.” He laughed and let us go. We arrived in the afternoon. There was a crazy accident on 502. There was a car and trailer on top of a “cliff” with four teenagers sitting on the edge of the cliff. The vehicle was smashed up and the axel was broken. Amazingly enough the trailer was still hooked up. (The above picture was taken by Kim and Olivia a little later in the day when the car had been taken down already.) A little further down the road we saw a dead moose in the ditch. It was huge and part of its antler was on the road.
Once we got things unpacked and the trailer set up Scott and I put in kayaks and towed Scott’s around to the dock. Then we had to go up to put the big boat in. It went pretty smoothly. Dad was in the boat, Mom backed the truck and Scott and I pushed it in. I had a leech from the boat launch.
