We planned to leave Jamestown at 7am, but we forgot to put Richards phone forward an hour after crossing in to central time, so we were an hour late leaving. Fortunately it didn't matter that we were late, and he had a reasonable round of golf.
It was quite cold. We had our beanies on. A girl was driving around in a cart selling drinks and food, so we got a few drinks to keep us warm along the way.
We had a late lunch at the club house. Was very nice.
The boarder crossings were interesting. On the way into Canada we had to get out of the car and go in to the office with our passports while they checked us out. It was pretty low key. But going back into the USA was a different story. We had to drive into a big shed type building and then they mustn't have liked the look of us because they shut us in. We had to get out of the car and step aside while they went through the whole car and our bags, even my handbag. It really upset me, I really disliked getting the third degree and being made feel like I had done something wrong. Richard said they are just doing their job but I'm sure they don't have to be such a*holes about it. I've been through a few airport security checkpoints and they are nothing like that. What the hell business of theirs is it how long I've taken off work for my holiday, or why we chose to rent a Mustang convertable.
It took me nearly the whole 2 hour drive to Grand Forks to calm down. Richard slept off his late lunch beers. He did wake up to take this picture of a crop spayer driving along the road. It was so big I nearly felt I could drive under it.
