Spent the afternoon at tinker town. It's basically like the fair that comes to town. The kids had fun. Not bad for the end of August. 36celcius in the sun. [emoji2]

We did the zoo yesterday. Today we are on the road for about 2 hours heading west to a campground where we plan on relaxing for a couple days before heading southeast to the corn and apple festival in morden Manitoba. http://cornandapple.com/schedule

K. Prairie driving with a camper sucks. Speed limit of 110km and I could barely hold 100km due to the wind. I swear if someone farts 20km away I can smell it within seconds. We made it though. This is one time I was glad to have construction most of the way. It's a 2.5 hr drive. Get here to find out the area is under a tornado watch.

100km is not bad with a heavy wind. The kids look like they're having a good time. Beautiful scenery.

It was a struggle at times with wind coming in sideways. The kids are having a good time so far. We're in the middle of a thunderstorm now though for the next few hours. That's alright. The truck needed a wash.

Rest day today. We'll be staying put for the most part. The campground we're staying in was flooded two years ago.

There are still signs of the flood. One of the shower houses remains closed with water lines about 5 feet up the walls. Some of the other facilities such as an obstacle course and basketball court remain closed strewn with trees and debris from the flood.

We made it to morden Manitoba for the corn and apple festival. Only a short 2hour drive but I'm feeling it today. We took a connector highway for 60km. The speed limit said 100km but I wouldn't do 70 even without the camper. Once again if someone farted 70 miles away the camper would sway. My mind is definitely made up that a 3/4 ton is in our near future. The ford pulls the camper OK but a little more weight in the truck would be nice.

I toughed through the day today for the kids despite being exhausted and sore. We took in the corn and apple festivities today which included the fair a long parade and an even longer line up for the free corn. Tomorrow will be a car and bike show in the afternoon followed by dirt track racing.

We took in a car and bike show yesterday. No pictures of cars though. Must have been over 100 cars and just as many bikes to see.

Afterwards we went to a local dirt track for some good racing. It was the end of season show. Couple of classes I had never seen live before including the little slingshots and the super trucks.

Our last couple days were great. As a child I went tubing downriver with my family in somerset wisconsin. I always remembered that and finally got the chance to take my family. We made our way to red lake falls Minnesota where we stayed at a very nice campsite for a couple nights in order to go tubing downriver. The campground has open buses they use to shuttle people up river to a drop off point. The run was about 3 hours. We had a great time.

Hope you are getting some time to rest between all the activities and driving.

Yes. Thanks. We kinda planned the last week of the trip with shorter drives and longer stops. We got here yesterday and the most exciting thing we did today was find a park for the kids to play at and do some shopping. Otherwise it's been relaxing at the camper. Yesterday was only an hour drive. Tomorrow is 2 hrs then we stay for two nights before making the final trek for home which is only a 4 hour drive. All in all we will have been on the road for 17 days with the longest drive being a 4 hour day. Before my accident I would have been able to do this drive in 2 days. Now....17 days with rests in between and I'm sore and tired. Goes to show how much stamina I've lost

We just got back home a few hours ago. Basically a week in the states with little to no cell service aside from a couple days at a campground with WiFi. Good trip overall but we're tired. The old ford performed very well all things considered. I did have to bring it in to have a wheel bearing changed out in Bemidji MN. But that's just normal wear and tear for a vehicle with 185k kms. When it let go, I decided that the other one probably isn't far behind. So I ordered one and had it shipped to the border for me when we passed through today. I'll be changing it out sometime in the next few weeks.

I forgot to mention one of the huge highlights of the trip. We went to the dirt track races in Hibbing MN were we won a door prize of a brand new Ford f150.
