Walnut Grove, Minnesota

Continuing on we headed east, opposite the direction Laura typically headed, and made a stop in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Walnut Grove is another Little House town and the location of the familiar Plum Creek. We un-hitched our wagon at Lake Shetek State Park where we noticed that we had travelled far enough east that there were enough trees that it started feeling a bit like someplace that we might stay back home. The staff was a little frazzled when we checked-in as the electricity in the park was out due to some construction work, but it was repaired a few hours later. In Walnut Grove we spent some time at the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum then got back on the road. All the driving over the last couple of days was pretty good as we were off the Interstate much of the time and passed through some nice small towns.
