Hot showers, rope swing, water slide, etc.. good fun. Afterwords we ventured off to the Dinosoar Park.
Jaw dropping terrain.. You drive through endless farmland, and then suddenly hit this!
we did a little hiking and saw some neat displays of dinosaur bones, still in the ground. We also saw an old quarry site.

After 7 hours of driving we are now at Regina,SK. We would not normally drive so far, but it's all farmland, so nowhere to Boondock!.. Regina appears to be a nice city. We parked at a walmart and rode bikes alongside a town creek. Found internet at the first park bench we tried! how nice. We kept bicycling around the city parkland, found the city "Bird Sanctuary" and had fun looking at the Pelicans up close.

Spent 3 hours in Canadian Customs!!!
After 4 agents searched our Entire Camper for half an hour, They head agent told us to turn around!!!
I Tried to find ways around, and "lightly" argued (didnt want a cavity search) and gave a fat lip for 20 minutes.
She eventually changed her mind... They were worried since we had winter clothes, etc..
and all of our gear, she said she believed we weren't going to LEAVE!!!
After about 3 hours, we sped off with our "permit", which says we have to be out by the end of august.
FOund a great spot right off hwy 71. went searcing for a lake to swim in,
ended up biking 15 or so miles until we found a great little spot down an
abandoned road. little chairs and a private little lake.

We saw this in International Falls.. Apparently it's how they dump the grain out of the trucks?!?

I noticed interesting terrain on Google Earth so we drove over to it. Found out it was a huge burn-down over a strange sandy-bog..
We stopped for a swim at a public park on Lake Superior past Ontonagon. It looked just like Park Point. Afterwards we stopped right next to the Big Iron River and watched the begining of the sunset before heading back south away from The Lake.
For the night we stayed back at the same sandpit we had stayed at on our second night.
