On the Border- Baudette, MN

We spent two nights at the Larimore Dam RV area.  This seems to be a popular spot for locals, so we were glad we landed mid-week.  We went down to the water for a swim, but only Chris and Caleb ventured into the water. I thought the water was a bit too brown and had too much algae… so I soaked up some rays on the picnic table.  This morning we listened to the weather radio and waited for a few storms to pass.  We found our window of opportunity and headed east to the Grand Forks area for a shopping stock-up before entering Canada.  Super Target stop over, we traveled north-east into Minnesota to the border town of Baudette.  We pulled into the Timbermill Community Park, which is a town park that just added RV sites.
This is a border crossing town and we are taking advantage of some USA services before entering Canada.  Since we are part-timers, there is no good mail forwarding option available through the USPS, because they will only “hold” your mail for 30 days and if you have it forwarded then you have to be in one spot to get it!  So we have a good friend collecting our mail and sending it to us in USPS Priority Flat Rate Envelopes every few weeks.  We also need to comply with the Canadian firearms rules and Chris was able to work with the local Sheriff’s Department to store his firearm.  Our weather radio has been on and we’ve been listening to the tornado warnings for the area.  We seem to be in a good spot and are prepared to go to the shower house if needed, but the storms are moving around us. 
Tomorrow we will cross the border into Canada, earlier than we originally anticipated, but Caleb is anxious to swim and fish!
