Still alive and well.....

Sorry for the lack of posts of late. We,ve been moving right along and have been plagued with poor or non-existent internet or 3 G coverage at times. Other times, I was just lazy, tired, short on witticism or drunk.....well, the last one might be an exaggeration but I did do damage to a bottle of wine one eve.


We left Lexington behind and entered the Land of Corn as documented above. And, the world really IS flat out here in the plains. There are millions of acres of corn out here, interspersed by soy beans. I need to google ( oops, sorry Michael, I meant Bing) to see how they grow but miles of them are dark green and the breezes make them move in waves like water. I couldn't get a good picture as we zipped by.........well, we really don't zip along, more like a graceful lumber.

We spent Monday night in a local park, with electricity, in Forest City, Iowa. This is home of theWinnebago/Itasca factory. The town is very very small andits surprising they can find over 2000 workers. In July there is a big rally of winnebago owners and it attracts over 1200 RV's. They must overrun the roads and few restaurants. We did the 2 hour tour and thought it well done. They build 100 a week. Before the recession, they did 250.

Last night we arrived in Detroit Lakes, Minn. It is a series of lakes, very popular summer resort and we have friends with cute lakeside cottages. We'll catch our breaths, clean the house, golf and get in the proper mindset to see old classmates from 50 years ago.

Location:Detroit Lakes, Minnesota
