After planning and cancelling twice because of Covid, wish us luck on our big adventure!!
We’re off!!
Walk off ferry passengers
View of Mount Baker
Nk’mip Campground 👍
Really dry here already and was 18C yesterday. Hopefully not another bad fire season
Smallest trailer for sure😜. Our son says it’s not the size of the trailer, it’s the quality of the people inside 🫶🚋
Wow … the Columbia River and Grand Coulee Dam are amazing
Prairie hailstorm
Huge causeway on Pend Oreille Lake
no explanation needed here ….
Beautiful cabins for rent North Haven campground
Libby, Montana
Kaw Lija??
Packers Roost Coram, MT …. parking lot was packed but we were the only patrons. Found out all the rest were in the ‘smoking side’ 😂
Glaciers
Driving through a blizzard 🥶
Browning, MT
This picture does not reflect the enormity of this windmill farm. They go for miles
Our poor little trailer is frozen 😱
Someone isn’t getting their FedEx delivery
Everything is white …. can’t tell where land ends and sky begins
Only thing not white is the highway … thank God for small mercies
For miles, farm equipment just sits in the fields all winter … tractors, combines … you name it, you’ll see it
Forget about public restrooms or rest stops. Water shut off everywhere …
Easy to see how people get snow blindness 😳
Road hog 🤣
Another packed, waterless campground 😂
Reservations here go for miles
Old church right in the middle of transmission lines
Another Buckhorn Cafe 😂
Still freaking cold and 50 MPH winds.
Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse. Macaroni and cheese nachos. Who would have thought?? Yummy though👍
Lonely little trailer rocking on the ridge 💨
There are rigs like this about every half mile in farmer’s fields along the highway in North Dakota
Cold but clear. Lots of black ice and a few rollovers
Stanley has a Bluejays team 👍
Wow the storm yesterday closed a lot of highways just below us 😳. No way to get from Bismarck to Fargo.
Bighorn country
Beautiful sunset last night. Woke up to 2 inches new snow and -7. Rest day … no travelling
Cool pool room
Cute building for a brewery
Crab wontons … so yummy 😋
Food delivered by a robot 🤖
Now hubby wants one of these 🙄🤭
Another beauty sunset last night
Snow is starting to melt 👍
Wow …. hope they don’t get that crazy flooding this year
Cute pizza delivery truck
Oak Park
Some massive houses on this ridge 🤑
Oak Park. Great place for family activities
Such a great design on this house 🏡
Ice rink yesterday…. lake today. 20 degree rise in temperature today 🫣
Leaving tomorrow but awesome stay here. Sad we didn’t get to see Air Museum but just came too early 🫤
Could see the spires a long way. Hoping to get a good photo
All boarded up. So disappointing 😕
Cool design on the water tower. 🙂
Minnesota mud ball ⚽️ 😂
Paul Bunyan Park
Rob … came to visit your old friends ☺️
Jim Benson … former President of Bemidji State University and Bemidji historian and promoter. 86 and full of beans 🫘 What a story teller and wonderful human being 👍
Downtown bridge
Bruce … no swimming now 🤭
Chief Bemidji
Another Chief Bemidji
Surveying the situation 😂
Bar 209 … deep fried cheese curds 🤤
A little hard to see but the yellow sign on the left says SAFE PASS. The one on the right SUICIDE PASS. 😆
Check out the widows walk on the roof
Massive forest fire went through here. Goes for miles 🫤
St Louis River
Roads are really rough …. bumpety bump!! Getting bugs on the windshield now
Here for the night
RV site just a big mud bog … brutal. No water but still full price. Works out to almost $80 CDN per night. Was shocked to see price doubles for Friday and Saturday nights!! Leaving tomorrow for sure 🫣
Cold beer always takes the sting out of a bad situation 😂
Industrial city for sure
Not sure what this is but it’s scary looking 🤔
Again not sure but in the next photo you can see it looks like it generates power
Ty, is it a power plant?
Heading east
Beautiful brickwork 🧱
Just another cool looking old building 🙂
OK … I know, but it was just too awesome to not take the picture 🤷♀️
This is one massive forest
Went through lots of flooded areas. You can see by the forecast it could get a whole lot worse 😬
Signs like this along the highway since we started our journey on Highway 2.
Lots of ski resorts here
Marquette Mountain Resort beside our campsite
Bear carvings are as popular here as in BC
TV Station
Marquette Fire Bell with Lake Superior behind
Non working iron ore loading dock downtown
Lake Superior
House on the hill. Awesome old timer …. must have a breathtaking view
City Hall
I’ve seen churches all over the world and the architecture and stain glass here can rival any of them
Inside the post office.
This iron ore dock is still in use. Pusher tug beside the barge loading
Don’t know if you can see the train on top coming in to unload
What a way to start the day … heading back to Canada 🇨🇦
Wonder what’s inside 🤭
Soo Locks
Back home
Major milestone. We’ve done 4000km (2500 miles) so far. I’ve maxed out on the photos and we’ll arrive at my Dad’s tomorrow. As such, this portion of the trip is over. Part Two will start in two weeks. The End 🙋🏼♀️😉💞
