We drove from Glenwood to Kabetogama Minnesota. Our route was mostly on US71 to just south of International Falls where we cut across on MN217 to US53. The roads were pretty good the whole way. We drove through Buena Vista and Koochiching State Forests. These reminded us a lot of the drive to Homer Alaska with boreal forests lining a straight as an arrow road for as far as you can see. It is its own type of “barren landscape” with trees as far as the eye can see. Every once in a while there would be a lone cabin and many had unique “road art” by the driveways. It reminded us of some of the art in Terlingua TX. We pulled into the Voyageurs Sunrise Resort (TBD per night with no discounts) after a 7 hour drive. We were assigned a new spot on the edge of the park that was easy to back into. We quickly found out there is NO cell service. The resort is down in a bowl surrounded by granite hills. So to get a cell signal we have to drive to the top of the hill. We turned on the cell phone amplifier but it could not pick up a signal to amplify. But the water pressure was good and the WiFi was strong (but a bit slow). As in Glenwood, most of the RVs here were seasonal and many seemed set to be in place for several years (Wood decks, etc).
