A Rainy Night

July 21 (Faribault, MN)

We took off in fairly decent time this morning with Roger and I flying, T & A driving, heading to  Minneapolis/St. Paul for the night.   Roger and I flew across the lake for fuel, and then were on our way.  We met up with Travis and Alana at Casselton, just outside of Fargo, ND for lunch.  They brought us subs from Subway and we ate together there at the airport.  The facilities at most of these small airports are really nice – especially this one. 

Then we traded vehicles – they flew, we drove.  Their assignment, as the ones who would arrive faster, was to find a place for us to sleep for the night.  So they did their research and made reservations at a campground in Faribault, south of the twin cities.  We decided it would be nice to have a shower before arriving in Iowa the next day!  It was very hot driving today and the air-conditioner in the truck isn’t working, so a shower was even more necessary!  We arrived at the campground, set up our tents, and then decided that for our last night we would go out to eat at a nice restaurant, and found a Mexican one that was very good.  Back to the campground, wonderful showers (paid 25 cents for nine minutes), and bed.  Just as we were getting to bed, it started to sprinkle.  It was a hot night, and with rain, we had to shut up the flap on the tent.  We were sweating inside, especially Roger, who was at the back of the tent.  JOLENE
