WEEK 2

 

DAY 9

Some days, you just know when you start out down the road what kinda day it might be.
Other days, your just have to stop, take a picture, and smile.

DAY 9 - SEPT 10 - SATURDAY
    We enjoyed our time in Minnesota.  There is so much more we didn't get to see (besides the Crosby fire trucks), that we definitely should come back again some day.

    So, off we headed from our Clearwater, MN campground heading west on Route 23 thru some back roads to Route 12 and making our way over the South Dakota border to I-29, running north towards North Dakota.  We got to Fargo, ND about lunch time and stopped at a cool place, recommended by one of the local PD, called "Sickies" Burgers & Brews. It was awesome!  Good advice, ask the local FD or PD where to eat and you will not be disappointed. 

    Back on the road, we headed north on I-29 again and crossed our northern border into Canada, and Manitoba (MB), our first new Province so far on the trip. I-29 continues into Canada as Route 75, which we took up towards Winnipeg, the Provincial capital of Manitoba, and then headed west on the Trans-Canada Highway, Route 1.

    We arrived at a campground outside of Winnipeg for Night 9.
 

STATES/PROVINCES TODAY: MN, *SD*, *ND*, *MB* - (3) States {2 new} & (1) Province
                                                    {1 new} for the day / (16) different States and (1) Province so far
DISTANCE:  534 miles for the Day / 2924 miles for the Trip so far
FIREBOATS: (12) so far

 

Another new state - South Dakota

Corn, corn, corn

Two new states in one day. North Dakota.

Fargo, ND Fire Department

Lunch at Sickies Garage, Fargo, ND
Recommended by a local PD officer
We did not ask how the place got its name.

Great lunch stop, if ever in fargo.

Welcome to Canada!

Onto the Trans Canada Highway...aka Route 1.
Many, many miles of this ahead....  and other interesting prairie lands
