Saturday, 8/3/19...Stopped at the Hilltop for a cinnamon roll, saw a bear right afterward, Made it to Jamestown

Max in the morning when we left the Magnuson Hotel in Ishpeming

Our huge cinnamon rolls at the Hilltop.  They were delicious.  We all took to go boxes with leftovers with us

When we drove through here, Max said he wanted to move here.  Then he said he wanted to live in his same house, and have his same yard.  Finally he decided to stay where he is.

Max loved going across this bridge too

Saw this big nest on the far pole.  Texted Kimmy to see if she or Jared knew what kind of nest it was.  Jared said probable Osprey.  When Max and I went to the zoo a couple of days later, they had a nest on a pole (shortened) just like it and said it was built on an Osprey Box.  My son-in-law is so smart!!!

Max and I loved this waterslide in our motel

Max and I ate more of our cinnamon rolls

Left our hotel in Ispheming at 7.  Stopped in LAnce for cinnamon rolls.  They are so huge!  We all have lots left for later. While we were driving, we saw a bear by the side of the road.  We slowed down in case it crossed.  At first we thought it was a big dog because it was in a little ditch so we couldn't see it all.  Then it turned around and ran up the hill.  It happened all so fast that I didn’t get a picture.  Max didn’t get to see it boo hoo. Tried calling Kimmy and Jared all morning, but never got them because they didn’t have a signal. When we were 25 miles from Wisconsin, Kimmy called. She was amazed she had a signal there.  We had wanted to meet up with them, but it didn't work out.  It was so nice talking to her and the boys and catching up.  I sure am missing them.  At 13:38 we got into Minnesota. Max loved the bridge and big hills. We drove 10 hours today. I drove the last three.  Stayed in Jamestown, North Dakota.  It was the only place I had seen for miles and miles that had hotels.  Went in to a Holiday Inn Express but their pool and hot tub were out of order so we didn’t stay.  We went to a Quality Inn hotel next door and we so happy. Such a great hotel with a pool with a water slide which Max loved.  Me too!  We swam for 1 and 1/2 hours.  Our room was beautiful and had a hot tub.  It also had a huge walk in shower.  Max had his own area with a couch that made into a bed.
