Mississippi River North (Day 1- Sep 27, 2020)

 Well, here it is the first day of my trip along the Great River Road to the headwaters of the Mississippi River in Minnesota.  I left after teaching Sunday School, church, and lunch with the family on Sunday Sep 27.  I arrived about 5 pm at Wakonda State Park.  God was really good in that he held off the rain until I go set up, and then it rained until late at night.  I didn't get a chance to explore, but am hoping to this morning, and cook some eggs and bacon over a camp fire.  I dont' have to leave until 2:00 and check in at Fisherman's Cove is not until 400, so I have plenty of time.  Just fixed a tuna salad for supper, but then pigged out on too many of the good treats the Hannon family surprised me with yesterday.  

I am hoping I will have some good view of God changing the trees to the fall colors, but nothing yet.  The trip has been good....came up hwy 79 but didn't really get many views of the river until Clarksdale.  It took a lot longer but this trip is more about the journey than the destination. 

Yesterday was also a special day as I remember the first day with my Lady, Sep 27, 1957....Took her to a high school football game....don't remember much about the game but sure loved being with my date.  She was my first real date as I was very shy and turned red any time I got too close to a girl, but she made me feel comfortable.  Still miss her.......
