Sept 27 Minisoda with a touch of Wisconsin

DAY Fourty-Nine Afton State Pk thru Wisconsin to Lake City MN 85 km
Sept 27 Thursday D86.09 km M 44.0 A16.1 PT519 RT total 3887.2 km

Wind slight from the REAR!
Temp Hot…. Awoke to foggy morning over the river….. cleared off and was hot all day.
Road Condition Rolling great ride! Guy at the nursery called it “Coulie” Rd and he is right
Accommodation: Hok-Si-La Municipal Pk and CG Tent camping on the Mississippi.. Lake Pepin Very nice park like setting with no cars allowed in the campsite. They have carts to bring stuff from the parking lot. We are the only campers so very quiet. They stay open until end of October if the weather holds out. +++squirrels
Food: Breakfast usual
Lunch Nesbitts Nursery along the way Great Apple Cider! With our spinach salad!
Supper We went out for a pig out of Nachos and Quesideas
Overall: Great day with nice weather until we started to set up camp and it tried to rain, but went off to a clear sky with a bright moon. I don’t know why we saw more dead deer today than other days… more population, more traffic… they don’t have any deer lights …reflectors or fences along the hiways. We stopped for a break at a apple orchard and picked up apples for breakfast tomorrow. We have been very disappointed to be buying in the stores apples from New Zealand and they are last years so really punky. These ones will be really yummy as she gave us a taste and they were only $1 for 2 huge ones! We also stopped in Prescott at the Strawberry Fields CafĂ© which has great veggie choices… to bad it was only 1030 so we didn’t take the bait and eat early. We spent most of the day on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River, but are back in Minnisoda tonight.
