| July 11 - Thursday Huron, South Dakota to Winona, Minnesota Think we ran into just a few bugs last night! |
 |
| Another unexpected find - the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum in DeSmet, SD. Donna read most of her Little House on the Prairie books when she was much younger. |
 |
| DeSmet is where Laura first taught school. |
 |
| We met Paul at the Cottonwood Bistro in Brookings where we stop for a snack. He is a biker, saw our bikes and license plate, and just had to know where we were headed. He was a disabilities rehab counselor before he retired. He told us a bit about the local area before heading home. There happened to be a carwash right next door so we took the time to get the bugs off the car before we got back on the road. |
 |
| The rules for fireworks are different in South Dakota than they are in Minnesota so this shop is right on the border. |
 |
| Into Minnesota |
 |
| And here is Laura Ingalls Wilder again! Her family moved here when she was 7 years old. |
 |
| We stopped for lunch in a place called Nellie's Cafe. It was all about the TV show. The whole time we were there people kept asking to have their picture taken with a woman sitting at the counter. |
 |
| Went to the visitor center after lunch and it all became clear. We are just a day early. Still don't know which actor was sitting at the counter. |

| The gift shop had any color you could possibly want in period clothing. |
 |
| Back in the land of big silos. |
 |
| And interesting water towers. |
