1 PU to Shakopee MN (Monday)

1 box truck to Orange City IA (Monday)

... spending the night at Grand Rapids MN

Spent last night at home. No alarm this AM. Today I ate the other half of last nights meal for breakfast then finished up some yard work (not raking) before todays snow fall.

We pulled out at 11 AM. First stop was in Forest Lake at the Loves where we are still getting fuel for under $3.

2nd stop today was the Moose Lake State Park for close to a two mile walk.

Then we stopped in town at the Lazy Moose to eat. Good food, I had a chicken salad sandwich and BB had an omelette. I had to take my soup to go. Too much breakfast this AM. They do have meatloaf that I will try another time.

Next stop was to be a cemetery two miles out of town, but there it was at the edge of town. After we walked it for a while we were tired and cold and that is when we/I realized we were at the wrong cemetery.

Two miles down the road we find the correct cemetery but by now we are too tire to walk this one.

Then another two miles and we are in Barnum at another cemetery. This one is smaller and we are looking for an unique headstone. It is a few feet from the entrance so it doesn't take long. There is a second person I am looking for and this cemetery has the who's where list on the side of a building so that one wasn't too hard to find either.

Now we are just going to get to our hotel before dark.

It starts to snow before we get to Floodwood and by the time we are there the bridge is covered on the shoulder.

Once in Grand Rapids, we drive past the shipper. Gate is open so we MAY have been able to pick up today and get a ways down the road. We never asked. Right now we are not sure if we will make delivery of the second truck tomorrow. And there is a third leg we could do. Brainerd RV. But it doesn't pay enough to cut our day that close. Instead we will just drive how on Wednesday and get ready to head out Wednesday evening.

We get to the hotel and no one is at the desk. We wait. I go look on the back rooms. Someone is sitting in the small open area on their phone but I'm guessing it is one of the guest. Finally when I dial '0' on the house phone, that person comes up to help us ???

I eat my leftover soup from today and the last of a brownie from yesterday. Tomorrow we will grab a quick bite between the drop and the next pickup. The two are about seven miles apart.

After I pick up tomorrow, I will call the next pickup location so they can have that truck ready. And once I have the 2nd one picked up I will call the drop to see how late we can drop. We have already looked at all the hotel prices in that part of IA and MN.

And somewhere in there I may call the boss dispatcher for the RV's to see if we can set up trips early if we are going to the safety meeting. We haven't been to a group safety meeting since covid. We haven't done a lot of group things since covid. We did sit in the bleachers for a couple of short periods yesterday but no hour long sitting yet.
