New Lake Spot 
Miranda found road access to the private swimming hole we found last night.
So we moved the rv to 5' from the water!. perfect private lake. we may need to stay here a while :)
Windy night... Scary Low Frequency Sounds while we were sleeping, finally figured it was the webbing on the roof.

Into Canada We Go 
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?!?

Heading Out For Good 
We are actually leaving for our trip! We plan to head up to International Falls and cross the border into Canada, then take the TransContinental Highway through Canada to Kalispell, MT. It's doubtfall we'll get internet often during our trip so the diary will not get updated everyday, but we'll update whenever we can. :)

Packed up and heading out... 
I have completely finished work, and we finished packing up the RV and house, now it's time to Go!!! We're going to waste a few days bumming around the Iron Range while we wait for Miranda's sister Sara to have her new child. (By Aug 8th) Then We'll head out and not look back :)

Thursday night we stayed near whiteface down a hidden old road. nice little spot.
