Did we ever have fun on Wednesday. We pulled out of Manhattan around 8 am heading for Minneapolis. Some could get there in the allotted hours as designated by the annoying voice of the GPS lady. It took a bit for us to navigate through Kansas City. I have never made it straight through KC without ending up traveling on some road that goes through cornfields that are growing up to the steps of the houses. There is little of interest to me from there until I get near Limoni, Iowa….home of many Amish families, a visitors center run by the students of the local college where wares of the Amish are sold, and perhaps horse drawn carriages traveling on the road. Yes, I bought a basket which I needed for the garbage in the trailer. Checking to see if Paulette might be interested in the covered bridges of Madison County, I peeked her interest. Truck and trailer hooked a left headed west? To Wintersett. Winterset is the birthplace of “The Duke.” Since I was there last, a statue has been erected and many bricks are laid in the sidewalk with donor names. A real deal. The names of the contributors make a very interesting group. While in the area we visited 3 of the bridges that are still standing or have been restored. Flat Donna liked having her picture made. Two little girls from Oklahoma held her at the bridge for a photo-op. Off we went for the final leg of our trip. Miss GPS is now saying arrival time will be 11:15. Book of CD and a steady foot on the pedal brought us to Apple Valley, Minnesota to the Lebanon Hills Dakota Campgrounds at 11:30 pm. We are fast at setting up this little Jr. Egg. We took a fast shower and hit the bed. I have a big day ahead. I know you are afraid that we did not drink enough water or eat enough…do not worry about that.
