We hit the trail around 6:00 AM the second morning which had fog that didn't clear off until around 8:30.

Morning snack in Whalan
We had morning coffee and a snack across the road from the American Legion Hall in Lanesboro. Four older gentlemen came out while we were there. It was a scene right out of Grumpy Old Men. As three walked out one said "That f%$#*& thinks he knows everything" and another piped up "He don't know shit." They were each bee lining for their pickups. The door to the hall opens and a guy sticks his head out and yells "Bill, you forgot your juice" in which a "WHAT???" comes back. "You didn't finish your juice!!" I don't want it comes back. He sticks his head back in the door and yells "He says you can have it." I know it doesn't sound funny here, but believe me, it was.
This is the place we had the coffee and this gentleman was a delight to talk with. He was one of the highlights of the trip. I will do a post about him later. He is doing it right. If anybody ever gets to Lanesboro, we recommend stopping here for ice cream, coffee's or a sandwich in which comes the best part, conversation. The name of the place is "River Trail Picnic Basket"
