The Mississippi River
Our Campsite
At first we were in coulee country where the glaciers never came—characterized by small hills and valleys everywhere. Then we encountered miles and miles of corn, as far as the eye could see (except for the fields of soy beans, also as far as the eye could see).

We had two wonderful visits with our neighbor Sara’s parents, Marlin and Mary. On the first we were treated to a huge lunch and Ray got to drive their tractor! On the second we sat at our campsite and continued the great conversation we had begun previously.

We visited Zollman Zoo (which is part of Oxbow Park) and viewed the local wildlife displays.

We also went into Rochester to see Soldiers Field, an impressive privately funded memorial to all who served in the military.
