Pretty much a drive day.
We’ve traveled this route before and have fond memories of time spent in Duluth
and on Lake Superior.
A bald eagle flies out in
front of the truck, tracks us for several wing beats then peels off. An
impressive drive-by for sure.
This is the land of lakes and
there are people-powered boats on many of them. It speaks to the heartiness of
the natives and their good sense in avoiding noisy engine-powered conveyances.
Fall is being celebrated with
bright orange pumpkin displays on front porches and steps. Huge grain elevators
with Jake-like conveyors dominate tiny towns.
We see an ethanol refinery on
one side of the road and a solar panel production plant on the other. Several
long trucks, moving slowly, carry one blade of a wind tower apiece. And then
comes a truck carrying the base. The gigantic puzzle will be put together at
another time and place.
