Sep 27, 2011 - Falling Walnuts

Mostly dairies and corn fields since we left Fargo on our drive to New Ulm, Mn. where we checked into Flandreau State Park. When we were driving to our site we thought someone was throwing something at us but it turned out to be walnuts falling from the trees. Little doubt that fall is on the way because the trees go from dark green to bright yellow interspersed with some of the prettiest shades of bright red I've ever seen.

Jun 28, 2011 - Belle Plaine, Le Sueur and New Ulm

Another glorious day with sunshine the entire day and fabulous temps as well. Could hardly wait to hit the road this morning – today’s destination was southwest of Apple Valley to New Ulm with several scheduled stops along the way. Our first stop was in Belle Plaine, the “beautiful prairie” and home to one of the most unusual tourist attractions in the nation – a real two-story outhouse. The five-holer is connected by a skywalk to the Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom House. Samuel Bowler, the home’s second owner, added the “skycrapper” to...

Jul 20, 2007 - Day 26, New, Ulm MN

Tyler to New Ulm - another day on Hwy 14! Seems like we will ride this particular highway forever. The road is busy and a very narrow highway so it means watching for traffic coming and going but more importantly staying on the pavement as there is nothing beside a soft gravel shoulder that is very unforgiving if you go off the road. My riding buddy found this out today as we approached New Ulm he lost control for just a second and ended up taking a nasty fall! The problem with this fall was I was following and when Bob dumped his bike on...
