Day 12, Fri, Jun 15, 2007 Grand Forks AFB to Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada

This morning we left the campsite at the Grand Forks Air Force Base and headed north, but only after we back-tracked a few miles to allow Barbara to do a small amount of shopping at the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks, ND. She even managed to get her hair thinned a little while she was shopping.

From there we finally headed north and around 3:30 PM we made it to the 49th parallel, the US/Canadian border. It took us about 20 minutes to work through the line, but they only asked us a few questions and sent us on our way.

We arrived at Miller's Campground in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada around 6:00 PM.
Barbara had put a roast in the crockpot before we left Grand Forks. At one of our stops later this afternoon she added potatoes and carrots. We got to smell all the good smells all afternoon. What a way to travel!

Shortly after we got here, dinner was ready and was it ever good. Just as good as the steak we had last evening.


Have fun. We sure are!
