Day 2, yesterday, it was a full day. We woke up at about 6:30, cold. I decided we needed more blankets, and a trip to McDonald's for breakfast. We ran up to Cloquet to accomplish both. It's eerie being somewhere that doesn't have a McDonald's every three blocks.
We got back to camp and decided for a nice, morning swim. The water is clear, so you can see the little panfish and whatnot as try mistake your toes for food. After which we went north again toward Jay Cook State Park. On the way we stopped at a little truck stop called The Oasis Junction across 35 from an enormous Casino just outside of Carlton. It's a big, modern, eye-sore that makes no sense in its location. The food at the truck was decent, but nothing to write home about, although, to a degree I just did.
We spent a couple hours at Jay Cook, snapping photos and walking around. We saw the rapids on the St. Louis River, and crossed it on the Swinging Bridge.
After that, the girls hadn't had enough swimming yet, so we went again, and then I made dinner, we roasted marshmallows, showered (where there was a cool frog just hamgimg out) and hit the hay.
That's it. More details to come.
