We pulled up to the access between two bridges (pics) and found a little Aitkin County Park. It had half a dozen RV spots and a pavilion that we immediately took advantage of to start charging the phones. While we waited, I took a leisurely stroll into the cute little town. The roads leading to main street were one lane in which I didn't see any cars, but numerous bikes and a 4-wheeler cruising around. On main street, I caught them on sidewalk washing day. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. The gas station doubled as a grocery store in which I was able to restock a lot of our supplies for a reasonable price.
Once I returned to Maggie and Lily and waited a little longer for the phones, it was back to the river for another eight miles to get to the Willow River Campsite.
A family was already there, so we decided to camp across Willow River, right on a point that looked like it normally flooded. The ground was smooth and the firewood ample. We were going to go visit our neighbors for a bit; but by the time we got set up, most of their party was in the process of leaving.
All in all, it was a pleasant day and a pleasant evening.
