Our path today was lined alternatively with corn in all stages of growth and bright yellow sunflowers. We were entertained by a yellow crop duster who flew low enough to give us quite an exciting exhibition of flying skill.
Then a flock of geese crossed the road right in front of us. The last two stragglers had to rush in half flight to evade a deadly impact. Talk about up close and personal.
We passed through Strasburg, ND, Lawrence Welk’s place of birth. Ludwig and Christina Welk built their homestead in 1893. We did not have the time to stop.
After checking in at the RV park, we walked to the Hutch’s Motel, Cafe & Lounge. The café is a small family-owned establishment. They have been in business since 1967. The food and service were good – I had the specialty, the Hutch Burger. We also stopped into the Sinclair Convenience Store for Bread and Potato Chips – Very Convenient indeed.
New Frontier RV Park was very comfortable, and their internet rocked.
Wildlife Spotted: lots of ducks, a pair of swans, Paul spotted a hawk, geese walking across the street right in front of the beast; small hawk flying to telephone pole.
