Just as we prepared to leave the motel this morning (8:30), a Canadian policeman came up to us to check Cerwin’s log book and the truck.

Everything was okay. 🙂

It was a beautiful drive to the border.

We were the only ones going south into the USA. Maybe that is why we had to get out of the truck, go inside, and answer a lot of questions. The female office was very gracious, then got inside our truck to make sure we were not bringing anything into the states that is illegal.

Twenty minutes later we were on our way and back in our home country.

It took us almost as long to cross the border with only a truck as it did with the chapel attached. 🙂

The drive from the border to Duluth was filled with beautiful scenery as we followed Lake Superior.

Three hours later we were on Wisconsin interstate.

Cerwin decided to bypass the Chicago area and go south to Rochelle, Illinois – stopping there for the night.

We surprised Chaplain Jay LeRette when we met in the doorway of the truck stop.

After a quick supper at the restaurant buffet, we went to the 7:00 PM chapel service. Two more drivers joined us after I took this picture.

Jay shared a challenging message on the importance of making a decision to follow Christ – a decision that changes our destiny – Heaven or Hell.

We enjoyed meeting Igor in the chapel. He is originally from the Netherlands and now lives in Canada.

He stops at TFC chapels whenever he can and knows most of our Canadian chaplains.

It was a good day.
