We Never Tire of The View
As we rounded the corner on our descent in to the Mississippi River Valley just a few miles from our old homestead area I saw Kathleen reaching for the camera. The above picture is just like ones we have taken a zillion times but no matter how many times we catch our first look at the flowing water after months of being away, we are still excited to see it.
We arrived in the La Crosse area yesterday after an uneventful trek from the NW (Washington State), and a super summer with our boys and their families. If you have followed our blog you know that we did truly enjoy our summer with all that we did and the contact we had with family and friends.
Once again we chose to drive HWY 2 from Monroe, Washington to Bemidji, Minnesota before cutting a bit further north to visit four of our special RV friends. (Pictured Below). Debbie, Ken, Alan and Jean have been Workamping at a Resort on Kabetogama Lake in the far north of Minnesota just to the west of International Falls, Minnesota. We first met these four when we all were part of the group that wintered in Mexico for two winters, 2007 & 2008. The years are being kind to our four friends as they all look fabulous. It was a treat to get to visit with them for awhile.
Now back in the Midwest we will spend several weeks visiting family, and getting our medical appointments taken care of. We hope to have enough spare time to also visit all of the many friends we left behind when we took off on our "Tininthewind" journey back in 2006.
Sometime in mid October we will begin our journey south and once again our destination is Fun-n-Sun RV Park and Resort in San Benito, Texas.
