Wonderful Weekend Continued

Saturday continued with great weather and adventure.



Here in Minnesota we can really feel Fall in the air. We have only had scattered light frost, not a killing frost....yet.

Of course, the farmers are busy in their fields harvesting the beans and some corn.



Saturday afternoon we covered a lot of ground, seeing lots of cool things. We even hit a few rummage sales and picked up some of those "must have" items. Sue found a really neat book on the history of Route 66. It is a great book with lots of color pictures following the historic highway from Illinois to California. It sold for nearly $30 and the owner was asking $2. I offered her a dollar....SOLD!

We headed back to our little house on wheels in time to catch a few fish.



While we were fishing we noticed a sailboat being launched from the boat launch. It was a bit breezy that day....great for taking the "Sloop John B" out on the lake.



Have I mentioned yet that we had a great time?

After a full day we wanted something quick and easy to eat for supper so I rubbed a few sticks together and started a campfire for the hot dogs.



Once again....delicious!

The sun was setting and it looked like another good photo opportunity. Sue grabbed the camera and did her thing.



Friday night was a chilly one with low of about 40 degrees. Saturday night was warmer with lows in the low 50's and a quick thunderstorm just before sunrise. By 8 am the sun was out making way for a beautiful day in the mid 60's.

Tune in again soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
