I made it to granite falls where I found a campground rather quickly. I wasn't looking for one, but rather a place I could stealth camp for free. After driving around and seeing no camp hosts or fee signs, I figured that I would just stay here. Let's just hope that I didn't miss something and end up with some angry park ranger on my case. After getting out of the van I was proptly welcomed by a swarm of Mosquitos that must have sensed the blood of a foreigner... I guess I needed a formal welcome to Minnesota :). Thank God the previous owner of franke left a can of OFF in the back compartment, cause these are persistant little bastards. Now trying to get me through my cloathes and on my face!

I am happy with today and am giving myself a much deserved pat on the back. It was my lengthiest day by far, totalling 12 hours 35 minutes and 540 miles at a cool 53-55 miles per hour. Sometimes I question my sanity level... Especially navigating through severe cross winds like much of today. I think my arms actually got a workout from fighting the steering wheel. Needless to say, I'm beat, but I am very happy to have a quick and easy 110 mile day tomorrow :). Oh, btw this won't be posted until tomorrow due to lack of service, but I needed to write it now due to bordom :). Off to bed.
