Minocqua to Fort Frances to Red Lake

Left Minocqua this morning at 4:30 am and crossed the border at International Falls/Fort Frances.  After landing at Fort Frances and passing customs there, took off for Red Lake where I had all fuel tanks topped off for the long flight to Churchill.  The weather did not cooperate, so will continue hopefully tomorrow.

Spent a little part of the afternoon checking out the Norsmans, which this place is famous for.  See pictures at bottom of this post.
