MiMiMiMiMiMiMiMi Minnesota Minnesota

Clear skies:

Colorful boats:

Quiet highways:

Pamela's Hair Salon - Brainerd:

How bank money is spent:



Drove the quiet back roads of Minnesota, up through the Mille Lacs area, where the shores are lined with cottages and boats, hoisted on lifts, presumably to protect from wave damage in the shallow edgewater. Imaginative windsock/kites, shaped like eagles and ospreys, flap realistically in the wind over some docks, to discourage nesting birds which are in abundance. Clouds of white flys swirled so thick in places that we daren't leave the car, but away from shore, the air was fresh, the sun warm, and the sky clear and blue. The world is at peace here. Had the best deal ever on a pork rib dinner in Brainerd, then visited some quilting stores, landing overnight in a very nice AmericInn in Crookston, in preparation for our second assault on the border tomorrow.
