June 5th

This morning I hopped out of bed, ate my oats and hit the road (by 7). I filled up my tank the rest of the way, 8.2 gallons which came to $18.86. I drove the short 37 minute drive up to Fort Cap Au Gris. This fort no longer exists in its self but a town has been built around it. I visited the location of the 'used to be' fort. The fort no longer exists as a building because it was burned down in 1813. The location of the fort is where the current town of Cap Au Gris. I am now going to visit the Lincoln County Court House that was founded in 1818. It took me 28 minutes to drive there. I walked around and took photographs of this beautiful building for 20 minutes. Then I went to go on a nice walk at  Cuivre River State Park for a couple hours. I stopped and found a place to eat in the forest to have my lunch around 11 am. I left and drove 2 hours and 30 minutes to another motel to stay the night. It was 2:30 when I arrived at the Motel 6. I chose to rest and have dinner instead of going to another destination, today was busy. My total trip for today was 4 hours and 43 minutes long and a total of 281 miles. I had 314 miles of gas left from that day.
