Our planned departure for Duluth on Friday morning was thwarted by a water leak and a flat tire on the motorhome. I discovered the source of the leak at 9:30 AM and headed to Grand Rapids to purchase a new hose clamp to replace the dysfunctional one on the coach. With the leak stopped we pulled in the slides and lifted the jacks to find the right front tire devoid of air. Using Don's air compressor I replaced the air in the tire and headed back to Grand Rapids with a stop in Bovey to empty our tanks. Acheson tire did an exemplary job of finding the source of the leak and repairing the tire. With lunch consumed whilst waiting for the repair we hit the road at 1:00 PM for a non-stop drive to Indian Point Campground in West Duluth. We were settled in to the campsite by 3:30 PM and began preparing for dinner with brother Dave and his wife Sharon, cousin Shirley Wilson and cousin Donna Burns and her husband Steve.
I roasted two pork tenderloins on the grill and Mary made mashed potatoes, carrots with ice cream and bluebarries for dessert. We had a great dinner and a wonderful visit with family.

We capped the evening with s'mores on the campfire, coffee and conversation. Not a bad day after all.
