I had hoped to make reservations at Spirit Lake in Iowa, but they were full, so we ended up at the KOA in Jackson MN. For the first time in almost 3 months, I forgot to snap a picture of our campsite!
The first night we went out to dinner at Bergen Steak and Grill, 10 miles from our campsite. To get there we drove through field after field with an impressive view of windmills in the distance.
The steaks were magnificent despite the restaurant looking doubtful. (It had a sign handwritten on the front door “No credit or debit cards”.)

The next day we toured Fort Belmont, which featured a museum and a variety of buildings from the late 1800's. We especially enjoyed an original Conestoga wagon that was housed in the museum and a sod house on the grounds.
That night (Friday) a violent thunderstorm rolled in. Once again we had a flash flood and a tornado watch and this time we could hear hail on the trailer roof. It seems violent weather is following us…
On our last day in town we visited the Jackson County Historical Society in Lakefield and learned interesting facts about the area. For example, 5000 muskrats were killed in one day around Lakesfield in the early 1900’s. We took the long route back to our trailer and were amused at the sign below. (By the way, the road ahead was definitely wide enough for two lanes.)
Next stop South Dakota.
