Yesterday (7/11) we traveled to Trails RV Park in Walker, MN near Leech Lake. We stopped for fuel in Grand Forks, ND at a Simonson Travel Center and purchased diesel fuel for under $3/gallon ($2.91) for the first time in quite a while. This is a nice campground with fairly large sites and full hookups. The AT&T hotspot is achieving 10Mbps/1Mbps download/upload speeds. We were able to access the DISH Network satellites using our roof antenna.
We stopped in Walker to visit our friends from Sun City Center, Linda and Wendell. I worked with Wendell at GTE/Verizon. Wendell went to high school here in Walker and Linda grew up not far from here. They spend their summers here and have a place on Leech Lake. Last night they took us out to dinner at Shingobee on the Bay. We ate outside and on the deck overlooking the bay. Linda and Wendell ordered the Cheese Curd appetizer for the table and we both agreed that they were the best Cheese Curds we ever had. Beth and I swapped roles (she ordered cheesesteak and I ordered a burger) and both were delicious. When we got back from dinner we had “Kitty Time” and Merc thoroughly enjoyed his new favorite boulder.
Today we went to Linda and Wendell’s place and they took us out for a boat ride on their pontoon. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. Wendell handed Beth a fishing pole and she caught 3 fish, one of which was a keeper 15″ Walleye. When we got back to the dock Wendell was kind enough to clean and filet the fish for Beth to take back to the camper.
