Today our Two Far Team of strong women and good-looking men rode the Lake Wobegon Trail.  This is the area where Garrison Keillor locates his fictional town, Lake Wobegon, "the little town that time forgot, and the decades cannot improve."

We started in St. Joseph, the southeast end of the trail

Freeport also had this bike in their town park.  We got on, but we didn't get far!

The town of Avon had a viewing platform.  I'm not sure what the view was supposed to be, but the park was nice.

In the town of Melrose, there were feathers blowing around.

This is the town's major business.  It's not a "store", but a huge turkey processing plant.

We've seen hundreds of farms on this trip - corn, beans, wheat, pig farms, dairy farms and a few others, but this is the first electron farm we've seen.

Our last stop was in Osakis at the Panther Distillery.  We decided samples would not go well with cycling, but we did get a nice tour of the distillery.
