| Monday - September 11 - Grand Rapids to Hill City The sun is back! We decided to spend the morning in Grand Rapids since it isn't far to Hill City. |
 |
| On the way to downtown, Your Quilting Room caught Donna's eye. It is filled with long arm quilting machines and some very nice women. |
 |
| AND some amazing quilts. |
 |
| AND a 1922 Singer. |
 |
| Old Central School, built in 1895. It served as an elementary school until 1972. |
 |
| It is now has small shops and hosts cultural and community events. |
 |
| The old train depot is the Visitor Center and a candy shop. |
 |
| In English and Ojibwe |
 |
| This counts as Mississippi River crossings 12 and 13 since we did it going to downtown and headed south. |
 |
| This is a memorial to workers in the local paper mill. It is on both sides of the dam in the previous picture. |
 |
| Next ...time to visit the Wizard of Oz...... |
 |
| Also known as the Judy Garland Museum. She was born in Grand Rapids. For those of you who have only known Netflix etc......we could only watch this movie once a year on TV when I was a young girl. It was a major family gathering time and it was oh so magical. (Donna) |
 |
| This carriage, used in the movie, was originally built for President Lincoln. |
 |
| She had some pretty scary things to tell Doug. |
 |
| All about Munchkin reunions. |
 |
| Frances Gumm (aka Judy Garland) started performing with her older sisters when she was 2 years old. |
 |
| Her parents lived in this house for the 12 years before they moved to California. |
 |
| An even older sewing machine! |
 |
| Ate lunch then headed south with just a bit of a crosswind but nothing like yesterday. |
 |
| Pokegama Lake |
 |
| It was a nice ride all the way to Hill City and it wasn't flat, just like the name implies. |
 |
| The Whitetail Inn was our home for the evening. |
 |
| They had the perfect clothes line for airing out the camping gear. |
