My in-laws live in Duluth/Superior. Got a week off so we were going to drive up. Like I said, never been to Canada. She has stuff planned that she wants to do, I'd rather go back to MN and fish. We are going sometime the week of the 23rd. For a couple days.
Driving the Ram will be fun. How much is fuel up there? LOL

Don't ask about fuel costs, just fill before you cross the border and hope you make it back on the same tank. If you want to do some fishing, I wouldn't worry there are always lots of spots in the many lakes.

Ice reads open in December.......lol. Nahh, you'll be fine. For sure fill up though as gas is near a dollar/liter cdn. Also, i would definitely reccomend waxing your front grille, bumper, lights and hood as you will get raped with insects............

With that said good luck and have fun

regular Gas is .98 cent a litre. 3.87L = 1 us gallon
.98 x 3.87= $3.79 per us gallon.

Lots of fishing and out door stuf to do.

Good idea to get some Canadian money 100 us dollars= 108.6 Canadian.
Any Canadian Bank with exchange money for you.
You need to have a passport to get back into the U.S.
