July 5th, 2012 (Thursday) Driving from home to International Falls, MN

Jim arrived at our house around 7:30AM - he has volunteered to drive us to International Falls, MN where we will begin our Great River bicycle journey to Baton Rouge, LA.  On our way up we stopped at Subway for lunch and arrived in International Falls by 4:00PM.  Seemed like a long drive up there in a very remote wilderness area.  We drove through Deer River and noticed trees down all over.  Apparently they had a heck of a wind storm in that area on July 2nd and were just starting the clean up from the storm.  They still did not have power in a large part of that area.

After checking into the Americinn Inn we drove around International Falls and then went to dinner at a very nice Mexican Restaurant.  Afterwards, Jim and I went swimming and spent a little time in the hot tub before calling it a night.  I am so excited to get back on the road on our bicycle - Life Is Good!
