From Rochester, MN we head north. I’m not headed to Alaska, but to Detroit Lakes, MN. This lovely section of land is a joy to drive through. It’s gentle rolling farmlands in the south give way to a landscape littered with lakes.
Part 2 of the journey was one of the most relaxing day’s I’ve had in a long time. I met with a good friend of mine, Fred. I’ve known Fred for….forever. It has been too many years since I have last seen his family; so it was just great when I pulled into their driveway and I was greeted by the newest addition to their family, a Great Dane pup. We spent the night catching up on old times, drinking one or two more beers than perhaps we should have and just having a good time.
There is no substitute for good friends, and we will try and stay in touch a bit better than we have in the past decade. We are planning a trip with Fred, his wife (Joy), the bosslady, and I.
Til next time. Fair Winds and Following Seas. Part 3 will be from Detroit Lakes,west to Jamestown, ND and shortly thereafter ending my westward trek in Bismark, ND.
