The Caravan formed up in the little town of Bemidji Minnesota in the Royal Oaks RV park on the outskirts of town.
We got our number – we are now Fantasy 17 and the tour took us to dinner at the Ruttgers Birchmont Lodge for the biggest slab or prime rib we had ever seen. Claire, the fishatarian had walleye for the first time and loved it.
The next day we boarded a bus for a tour of the Bemidji area. We went to the statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox (apparently Paul is big in Bimidji), a local woolen factory where Ginger got a new outfit, and then to Itasca State park to view the very start of the Mississippi river.
