Day 45 - Cass Lake to Granite Falls

We left Cass Lake and took the scenic route (or should I say several scenic routes) to Granite Falls.  We have a rule that unless the trailer actually travels in a particular state, we do not apply that decal to our US map. Sooooo we decided to drive to Fargo just so we could put ND on our map... lol! 

We first traveled over to Bemidji so we could see the mouth of the Mississippi River. When we stopped for lunch in Fargo, I happened to notice a boat dealership next door so I walked over to see if I could get a brochure for pontoon boats.  I was able to look at a few in the showroom and get a brochure so Jim decided to come back with me to have a look.  After lunch and a fuel stop for the big black butt truck, we headed for Granite Falls.

Along the way, Jim happened to see a sign for another boat dealership so we stopped there too and got another brochure.  Of course, we had to look at the boats in their show room as well.  We are really infatuated with these pontoon boats... we just can't figure out if we'd get enough use out of it where we live.

Anyway, we hopped back in the truck and headed for our campground.  This was a tricky one, since the directons on their website were not too clear.  After turning onto a dirt road by accident (try turning around the truck and trailer at 55' in length... better Jim than me!) and missing a turn, we finally arrived.  The RV park is next to a casino and across from a corn field (we've seen a lot of corn!)

After setting up camp, we walked over to the casino restaurant for dinner, which was delicious.  Judging from the looks we got from other diners, they don't see many kids in that restaurant.  We came back to take care of some laundry and then settled the kids in for the night.  After that, we walked back over to the casino to make a small donation. I am not used to people smoking around me anymore (especially inside a building) so we didn't last too long.
