On the Road

Ho Ho Ho!
Lots to see and do in Lanesboro

Drove from Wisconsin to South Dakota today. Stopped in a cute little village called Lanesboro MN, rhubarb capital of America.







Also stopped in Blue Earth, MN to see the Jolly Green Giant. At 55 feet tall he's one imposing dude!





I saw my first herd of bison in Blue Mounds State Park; only a few dozen where once there were millions of "those blasted things", to quote a local sign. Hope to have a better view of them on our travels.


Stopped for the night in Sioux Falls SD, a prairie town with a lively downtown. Lots of sculptures, sidewalk cafes and bistros. After dark, a sound & light show at the falls told of its violent past. Seems the local natives got tired of being cheated and chased off the settlers. Sad stories.
