[July 24] After we left Michigan, we drove through Wisconsin. We stooped at a Walmart to get more blankets for the extremely chilly weather. We asked the cashier if the weather is always this cold and she said "Oh no, we've had hotter. It was 70 degrees last week" We got into our campsite very late at night. In the morning Maddie was awoken by a very chatty red squirrel. When she returned from the bathroom she discovered the squirrel eating out of her cereal bowl. The squirrel was very angry to have its meal interrupted.  Later we continued on through Wisconsin. We stopped at a small town fair with stands selling assorted objects that no one really needs. We bought some deep fried cheese curds which were reallly good. Maddie and Daddy bought some fried walleye tacos and Adele bought an Indian taco which is deep fried dough with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and cheese on top. It warmed up some as we made our way to Judge Magney State Park to see Devil's Kettle Falls. Devil's Kettle is famous because it's waterfall splits into two parts and in one the water just continues down the river, but on the other part the water disappears into a hole and never comes out. Scientists have been studying this for years. They throw ping pong balls and dyes down into the hole, but nothing resurfaces.  This waterfall has been featured in Jennifer's Body, but as we found out when we watched it last night they used a set for the film and it was a cooler, but inaccurate portrayal.

Maddie getting pulled over by the police

[July 25] We took route 1 to the boundary water canoe area wilderness, which was the curviest road we have ever been on. We could not go over 30 mph and curved every 500 ft. When we pulled into the campsite we saw a sign saying 0 mph which made us wonder a little. We camped right on Lake Vermillion and it was so beautiful there. Today we are driving through Minnesota to North Dakota. Tonight we are staying in Wahpeton, ND at Kidder Recreational Park. As I type this we are pulled over on the side of the road. Maddie was just pulled over by the police because she did not pull over into the left lane to allow the police car to pass. The police man said it was because police cars have gotten rear ended by cars who did not give them enough room, but the funny thing is that the policeman left his door open and it was sticking out into the lane, so it's no wonder that they got hit. I thought about telling him that he made our blog but I didn't get a chance to.
