Today was a long day. We started at 5:45 a.m. which was early as we had a play the night before. With my back injury we needed to make a lot of stops so I could walk around and change positions.
I never knew rest stops sometimes have hiking trails so we were pleasantly surprised. The rest stop near Black River Falls (near I-94 mile marker 121) had a nice half mile trail. The view was beautiful. The trees had just started changing colors, so those vibrant red and yellow trees really stood out from the green trees.
We stopped at El Loro, our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Twin Cities for lunch, took Highway 10 from there and really enjoyed some beautiful top down weather which was in the mid 80s. It got warmer as we went north which was interesting (you will see our trip ended with drastically different weather). We averaged 48.5 miles per gallon for the whole trip up and saw 50 miles per gallon after we filled up in Motley, MN. The top down did not appear to affect mileage.
We made it to Crookston by about 5:45 p.m. and had Happy Joe’s pizza with my Grandma. It was so good to see her.
