From Iroquois, SD we drove to Worthington, MN to visit with the Burkard side of the family. We enjoyed seeing our nephews and their wives and Jack's brother and sister-in-law and seeing all the bean and corn harvesting that was taking place. To be honest, we also enjoyed breakfasts at the Hy-Vee in Worthington. It's one of our favorite grocery chains, and we enjoy having their fresh bakery. We always camp at the Olson Campground in Worthington, which is right on the lake and it has a wonderful hiking trail along the lake. We made very good use of the trail and so didn't gain weight eating all the homemade goodies we enjoyed while visiting.
One day we drove over to Pipestone, Mn to see the Pipestone National Monument where Indians of many different tribes would come to quarry for the red stone used in making their peacepipes. The Indians consider the area as sacred ground, and even warring tribes were there at the same time to quarry. No fighting was allowed in the area. To this day Indians still come to quarry the stone, and the Park Ranger said there is a 10-year waiting list to come and quarry.
On Saturday we drove to Fairmont, MN to visit friends and stayed until Oct. 1.
