Greetings
Today is the last day of our sixth week, and we spent most of it driving across Minnesota from Sioux Falls to Taylor's Falls.
Most of the state that we saw looked surprisingly the same! Corn, corn, corn - oceans of corn from horizon to horizon. What wasn't corn was soybeans. The day was beautiful - blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Picturesque farms, complete with silos and red barns, dotted the landscape, and dairy cows grazed peacefully in the rich, gently rolling pastures.
In Holland, we counted hundreds of wind generators slowly turning all around the horizon.
We stopped in several small towns that featured grain elevators, old-time buildings on Main Streets, and tidy houses in neighborhoods shaded with oak, ask and beech trees.
At Clearwater, we crossed the Mississippi River. Also we are now in the Central time zone -- forgot to mention that yesterday.
Beautiful state!
Just before sunset, we crossed into Wisconsin and stopped for the night at a small campground in Turtle Lake. The front brakes have been squealing a bit, and Donny plans to change the brake shoes in the morning. Still limping along with one air bag, since we haven't found a place to buy another one yet.
Later!
Donny & Cheryl
