Tuesday, August 13, 1929 - Fargo, ND


We rode all day today. We wanted to be on the road at seven and we sat down to breakfast at six thirty but they took so long to get our breakfast that it must have been eight before we finally got started. We went North from Solon to within a few miles of Superior and then detoured around and almost got lost. It took us from then until six to get across Minnesota. And I never saw so many lakes in all my life. There are supposed to be 10,000 in the state. And all along the road there were great patches of first golden rod and the a purple flower and then they would be mixed. It was gorgeous! The day was cloudy and so cold that we had to put up all the windows and put on our coats. In the morning we had a flat and later in the afternoon we had a soft tire that we had to change. But in spite of all that we certainly enjoyed the trees, lakes and flowers. Because we got in early Pop, June and I went to a show. It wasn’t much good. The shorts were tho’. We have a darling dump with a kitchenette in connecting with a elevator.
