Never forget!

What do you do while stuck in a Kearney, NE cornfield on a Sunday?

After Mass this morning, Clyda made us pancakes and eggs. After we cleaned up the dishes we drove south to Miden and Pioneer Village. This was the work of one man who made his money from plastic wrap.

Pioneer Village comprises 28 buildings on 20 acres and 50,000 items from “every field of human endeavor” from 1830 until 1970. There are buildings full of buggies, cars, tractors, farm machinery, airplanes, and every kind of collectable you can imagine. Several hours of walking, climbing stairs, and reading displays were enough for us so we came back to Kearney and recuperated with a stop at Culvers for frozen custard. That always revives me!

Tractors 

and more tractors! Even the second floor had tractors.

Making rag rugs on a hand loom. My mother and dad did this for years.

Traveling through Minnesota.

Location, St Cloud, MN

We are in St Cloud, Minnesota at the St Cloud RV Park which is east of town. It is a really nice RV Park in a park like setting. Wish we were going to be here more than one night.

Most of the RV Parks we have stayed at since we headed east have lots of workers living in them. Further west there were combine crews harvesting wheat, in North Dakota there were oil field workers and highway crews working on the interstate. Here, there is a painting crew whose expertise is spray painting. What they paint is anybody’s guess.

Corn field, our view out the window for most of the day.

So far the weather has been great with temps in the 80’s and no rain. That may be about to change overnight as the sky to the west was dark late this afternoon.

We are going to take secondary roads from St Cloud to Wisconsin tomorrow as I don’t want to travel through Minneapolis. We will travel on some interstate highways after we get to Wisconsin.
