We said our goodbyes to Bert and Barbara and headed for St. Paul where we had to drop off a couple of prints. We were only about 40 miles from the gallery when we left in the morning as it was south of St. Paul in the bedroom community of Burnsville. This allowed dropping off the prints and skirting around the city and avoiding all the traffic. It was a good plan until we hit construction and then I remembered the 4 seasons in the north. Fall, Winter, Spring and Construction.
Undaunted we headed north still on Interstate 35 planning to cut off at highway 8 and enter into Wisconsin and travel into St. Croix before turning north and driving along the St. Croix National Riverway. However, Sheila, our Aussie navigator let us down ( Well, I couldn’t blame Kathy ) and we missed the turn. We ended up heading a further 32 miles north before we turned east and crossed the St. Croix River into Wisconsin.
We continued east for about 100 miles until we came to Hayward and decided to stop for the night. We found a lovely park about 15 miles out of town called Lake Chippewa Campground and settled in for the night. It is a beautiful spot right on the lake and we were able to get a spot on the water. It was a very quiet and peaceful night.
