We will see Paul and Corinne in FL in January
We left Paul and Corinne's in the morning after a great visit. We headed north into Wisconsin and then into Minnesota. Dave crossed the Mississippi for the first time ever. It was pretty wide in La Crosse, WI and we saw huge barges on the river. We hit rain before we got to WI and it got real heavy as the day progressed. When we stopped for fuel in MN lightning struck just outside the vehicle and the thunder hit at the same time.

The rain stopped for the night when we hit our campsite in Big Island State Park. We had supper and had a campfire and then settled in and watched a movie on the computer. During the night the rain and storms came back. It was cool all day - It never got higher than the high 50's. We hit cool weather a lot sooner than we thought we would.
