We unintentionally made it most of the way to Minnesota on Saturday morning. Recently when we were heading for Lake Superior we noticed some signage for an historic mill near highway 63. I was sure it was about half an hour north of town but I was wrong. It was up near the Minnesota border and well over an hour from home.
We left with no expectations so it wasn't terribly disappointing to drive twice as far as expected to find a grist mill that was less picturesque than we had imagined. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the Iowa harvest and we were glad to take the chance.
Dale didn't get his camera out of the car but we did walk Mowgli and do a little exploring. All three of us seemed to enjoy getting out on the road for a quiet drive.
This giant ear of corn was just a bonus! It seems to be made out of plastic gallon sized jugs and promotes their summer celebration. It was a fun find during our exploration. All in all it was a good adventure for a Saturday morning in October.
