Lemons to Lemonade June 25-27

Sunday we changed hotels - cheaper and more remodeled.  It's a 'contactless' hotel where you type in a texted secret code and your key pops out of one of these doors.  It was just down the street a mile so we moved 3 vehicles (loaner car and 2 bikes) in two steps. 

Since it was a drizzly chilly day we drove to the Rainy Lake Visitor Center 14 miles away to check it out.  This visitor center is quite bigger than the Ash River Visitor Center (in Orr) where we'd embarked on the big boat tour the other day.

Canoe trip for several hours from Rainy Lake VS into the waters of Voyageurs National Park!

Tuesday we figured we had all day to play (since our part wasn't due in til Wednesday), so we biked the 14 miles to Rainy Lake VS.

THEN, at the RLVS, we got the call that our part had come in early, and our repair would be done by 4 pm.  HOWEVER, we had to wait out a thunderstorm, then bike back a lot faster than our leisurely way there.  Thanks to ebikes, we're talking 16 mph the whole way back.  Still time to snap a shot of giant fur trader!

We got resituated at our contactless hotel in International Falls and decided to head out in the morning back into Canada.
