Leech Lake, Minnesota

Car camping is still better than staying in highway hotels. Losing track. I got the rental car on Tuesday, drove to Cheyenne Wyoming, and stayed in a hotel. Next morning, I drove through Eastern Wyoming, through South Dakota, into North Dakota, and stayed in a hotel in Dickinson, ND. Got moving today at around 7am, and drove the length of ND. The fisrt hour or two of looking at the Plains is interesting. After 3 days, it gets extremely boring. I got good at driving straight for hours without paying attention. Finally today I got into Minnesota for my first time. And the world changed immediately. They have trees and some hills. Headed through Wisconsin to Michigan tomorrow. My campsite. Place is loaded with old people in RV's. Quite, except for the whir of the air conditioners.
If this'll is getting dull, sorry. It's not the Rockies . I'm mostly doing this to remind myself about the trip.Read more
