Sunday 9/11

God bless the USA and our military forces, the men, women and children who died this terrible day 10 years ago.

Well, good morning all. What great weather we’re experiencing. The morning at Itasca Park was very peaceful. Temp in the 50’s, blue sky, birds singing and Roy blowing his whistle trying to gather us all for breakfast. On to Bemidji where we gathered in front of Paul Bunyan and Babe for a photo op.
Fact of the day: the scenic route was overlaid on existing federal, state and local roads rather than having been constructed from scratch, thanks to the governors of the 10 states that border the Mississippi, founded in 1938.

The road out, was a good photo op. All the girls standing on the bridge yelling “close it up”, we wanted to make sure to get all the cars into the shot. They weren’t thinking color coordinated with the 2 yellows in a row.

Thank you Bemidji Chamber of Commerce.

Our next stops were Forestedge Winery, thank you for the tour John and Paul, then in Hackensack we visited Lucette, Paul Bunyans girfriend and then what would a trip down Highway 10 be without stopping in Randall at Treasure City. We finished the evening travelling the river road to Psycho Suzie’s for dinner.
