Grand Rapids to Thunder Bay

 Not a very exciting day.  I'm sorry Minnesota but the road we took to get back to Ontario was boring. 

When we left our hotel, we went to see Paul Bunyan's chair, saw a bird house, and an old school.  

On our way, we saw Rocky Taconite so I stopped for a photo. Obviously!  That's part of  all the fun of a road trip! 

We stopped at Sugarloaf Cove - walked the little trail- which was supposed to be a mile - well, it was 3km full of mosquitos.  I don't know how many bites I got... argh.  It was a nice spot... no swimming, no paddling - it's a rocky shore.

While driving, we came around a bend.  All I could see was these downed trees/branches and I thought wow! there must of been some pretty strong winds!  As we got closer, we could see there was no storm at all!  This was "artwork" in someone's yard.  It's not my cup of tea... my yard would never look like that... to each our own!  It gets to people to stop and talk I guess! 

We got through the border no problem and then Thunder Bay for one night.  Next stop is a little motel past Terrace Bay.

There isn't much to see in Minnesota other than trees.

Farm Animals: 1 horse

Wild Animals: none - lots of insects at the cove - especially mosquitos.

Birds: raven, herring gull, merganser, ruffed grouse

Roadkill: raccoons and skunks

Random Thoughts:

• Minnesota is pretty boring.  Trees, trees and more trees.
• It's worse than going to Hearst.  They need to put rest stops so people can use the washroom.
• If you are going to have a scenic route following a lake, maybe you should see the lake more often.
• Why do you pay to cross the border into the states but not into Canada?
• How do people put speed traps into Google maps? How does it come off?
