I'm Back

I had to get another post up. I got tired of taking a beating from Dora.

After nine days of travel and chasing the Ingalls family from Wisconsin to South Dakota, I come back to a bunch of work piled up on my desk and much I’d like to write about but just don’t have time. I’ll get around to it. This was a good trip, from riding the Tornado with my daughter at Great Wolf Lodge’s water park in the Wisconsin Dells, to seeing all the places Laura Ingalls Wilder lived, to watching trains along the Burlington Northern and the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern lines. By luck, I also got to see the cabin of a favorite author of mine—Aldo Leopold. I’ll write more about it all later. But for now, let me leave you with a couple of pictures.

-The above shot is a replica of the Little House in the Big Woods.
-The second shot is of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train racing southward along the Mississippi River (south of Pepin WI)
-The third shot is the depot in DeSmet SD, the location of four of Laura Ingalls Wilders books.
