We left Dickinson, North Dakota this morning in a heavy fog. After driving a couple of hours, the sun broke through and the rest of the day went pretty smooth...that is if you enjoy being in a car for 10+ hours.
Oh yeah....except for the road construction about 60 miles out of International Falls where the idiot flagger girls failed to direct me to the detour route. I drove the entire 5 mile paving project with huge trucks bearing down on me, and their drivers shouting at me to "move over." I asked one fellow if I was suppose to be where I was and he replied "I don't think so!" Duh! so I asked him if I could get through and he nodded yes. I just put my head down and drove straight through all that heavy equipment. I wasn't about to turn around.
We've checked into the Days Inn for a couple of days. Am I ever ready to be out of that car!
Tomorrow we'll visit Voyageur National Park...our 23rd National Park this year and number 36 of the 56 Parks! We made our bucket list and we're checking places off - one by one.

Hi Joe & Nancy,
My wife and I are going to Rio as part of a longer tour from Iguazu Falls to Mendoza via Rio-BsAs (by Oceania cruises). We hope the weather cools from the 90s.
Like you, we prefer private tour guides vs ship-sponsored tours, I selected Marcio Guedes to be our private guide for two days while in Rio based upon your blog and obvious satifaction of his services.
We are glad we found your interesting & informative blog of your travels.
Aloha,
Steve & Tina Chung
Honolulu, HI
