May 4, 2009 - Grand Forks, North Dakota

Today was a shorter driving day than most - just over 200 miles to Grand Forks, North Dakota where Janet's cousin, Ben Adams, lives. ... Janet hadn't seen Ben in about 30 years (maybe more - we couldn't narrow it down more than that!), so they had alot of catching up to do! 'Twas really good to spend some time with them! On a side note, the Red River runs through Grand Forks, and is still about 12 feet above normal, but their modern dikes kept the city safe from flooding. ...
