After checking, double-checking and checking again to make sure that we hadn’t forgotten anything, the three of us finally got started at 9:30 a.m. Simba thought that we were leaving too early as she wanted to sleep in some more.
After only eleven miles we came to our first detour on Hy. 45 west of Appleton. We hope that this is not a bad omen.We ate lunch at Cadott, WI. Traffic through St. Paul was real heavy as we got there just at the beginning of the rush hour. Arrived at Brainerd, MN at about 6:45 p.m. and dry-camped in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Simba didn’t seem to care as long as she had her tuna flavored Friskies.
404 miles today; 404 miles total.
