We saw this setup in Thompson Hill rest area above Duluth.
There’s a generator in the back of the pickup truck. The trailer is plugged into that generator by a yellow cord you can see if you look closely. The owner is inside making lunch. Clever setup, I thought.
Black Bear Casino is advertising, “The best chips don’t come in bags.”
“Keep your money where your mouth is,” says Mediacom Phone. Are they saying their phone system is expensive?
Meat market advertising, “You never sausage a place.” Read that one out loud.
We stopped by Bear lake County Park in Barnum, Minnesota, to check it out. This park is on the east frontage road of I-35 but down hill enough that it probably is not noisy. Except perhaps when the loons are nesting.
We camped at Moose Lake City Park and Campground. We were right on Moose Lake. $26 for full-hookups. Nice, quiet place. I don’t know why I didn’t take any pictures there. Apparently I only take pictures of places we don’t camp.
I saw a Pro-Life billboard saying, “I had fingerprints seven months before I was born.” How do they know? Did they fingerprint the fetus in the womb? Why? What did it do? If they waited until it was born to fingerprint it, how do they know if it had fingerprints back then? If it was never born how do they know how many months it would have been before it was? What if it was a premature birth?
We visited the Hinckley Fire Museum. This is one of those place we always meant to go when we lived in Minnesota but never did because it was too easy to do. We thought we knew the story of this fire. The museum proved how little of the story we knew. I apologize for the blurriness of some of these photos; I was not very steady while reading this story.
The fire museum is in an old depot. The railroad’s agent lived upstairs. The rooms have been refurnished “in the manner of the late 1890s.”
We went to Tobie’s in Hinckley for lunch. This is a famous half-way stop between the Twin Cities and Duluth. Their burgers and malts are rave worthy. As is their bakery. It is very hard for us to just drive by this place without stopping I’m so glad we did not try to do so today.
After a stop to pick up a prescription refill and mail we parked in our friend’s driveway.
We are having fun catching up with them and other friends while getting a model railroad operating fix. It’s nice to not have to drive 45 minutes home after the operating session. We just walked outside and went to bed. Life is good.
TTYL,
