Cornfields, and more cornfields; friends

Did someone say ethanol was big business? We saw lots and lots of cornfields passing though South Dakota and then Wisconsin. But we did find a cheese factory to stop at in Wisconsin to do a bit of cheese tasting and buying! Even here in Michigan, where we would have vineyards in Sonoma County, we're seeing small cornfield acreage.

We've managed to avoid the flooding that has been a little south of where we've been. Picked up a nail somewhere so John had to change a trailer tire just a few miles out of Petoskey, MI, which has been our destination. I'll add a photo of the Davenport families and grandkids when I can get a good picture of the two families.

We also connected with Karen Hagen, a former Director of Children & Youth Ministries at Christ Church, who is now a Presbyterian minister in Milwaukee. She was traveling through Petoskey just as we were arriving. So good to see her.
