July 12 Day 9 Monday, Woodbury to Brainerd, MN

We stopped in Coon Rapids to do the laundry. Small town Laundromats are usually less busy and better equipped. Mavis uses 3 washers so we were done in 1.5 hours. We arrived at our friends Gary & Sue's log cabin at 3:00PM (see photo). After dinner in the cabin we went to one of their friend's homes on Gull Lake for desert. Brian is a physician from Saskatoon and after 29 years practicing in Grand Forks, North Dakota, hit upon the idea of living and working from their Minnesota home for 5 months and then living and working from their Florida home (permanent residence) for 7 months during the winter. Do you remember Florida like Tennessee has no income tax? Debbie is a nurse and made an incredible desert. She is also the creator of a secret recipe barbeque sauce that Gary is trying to get via various illicit schemes not to mention bribery.
