Tues., Aug. 27
Travel Champion, MI thru Wisconsin to Brainerd, MN
Today we cross three states, Michigan thru Wisconsin to Minnesota.
Michigan has stiff penalties for speeding in
construction zones and if you hit a construction worker the fine is up to
$75,000 and 15 years in jail if you kill one.
That should be a deterrent. We gained back another hour. We stopped at
the info centre Michigan/Wisconsin where there was an exact RV like ours from
Manitoba.
Pretty
flat here!!! Elevation 1500’
Sign
looks funny
Nice driving through Wisconsin, no road construction.
Ashland has a nice protected bay so lots of
boats and lake properties also lots of realty signs. Duluth is at the end of Lake
Superior.
We thought entering Duluth it was
smoggy but then we realized it was fog from the lake.
Duluth is one of the largest inland seaports
with 49 miles of docks.
Now we’re in
Minnesota.
Brule River Rest Area
We noticed the price of gas getting
cheaper so we stopped in Cromwell easy in with the RV’s.
We also grabbed some coffee in our travel
mugs and the cashier said “$2.12 please”.
Ross said is that for two coffees, yes!
I can see why Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, some are very small
ponds.
We crossed the Mississippi river
twice today.
Just south of Brainerd we
found a campsite with a pool.
The lake
was murky with algae growing in it.
It
was nice to take a dip in the pool and read for a couple hours.
A lot of the RV’s here are permanent but you
need a boat to get on the water.
