The Rubbertramps Head North


Next, we pointed our camry to the north to the shores of Lake Michigan to see some cool dunes and take a walk through a .ghost forest We spent a nice couple of days in Michigan but we felt the urge to push on, so we crossed Sault Ste. Marie and pushed into Ontario and the shores of Lake Superior This part of Canada is remote and wild, unlike much of the rest of the southern tier. There are a great number of Provincial Parks along the way. We camped at Neys PP where Wendy saw a lynx right in our campround! Along the way we stopped at Ouimet Canyon and Kakabeka Falls here. Western Ontario is certaainly a nice place to visit, but a bit too remote for even many Canadians to live.

So we went stateside again crossing back at Frostbite Falla, Moosylvania (Intl. Falls, MN) and drove across the great prairie and on into North Dakota to the city of Minot, where I could a feel at home with my Scandanavian paisanos. Their city park is a bit like being in Oslo and the centerpiece is a reproduction stave church along with a giant Dahl Horse and a grass roof farm house. I walked into the supermarket and asked where to find the lefse and the knew just where to direct me.

Well a little piece of Scandanavia is nice, but let's head for the real wild west and see waht lies there for us...
