Tuesday, May 31, 2016

We had to stick around this morning, due to the showers coming through our area.  When it cleared up, we ventured out to the state park close by to check it out, and we did manage to pick up an interesting geo-cache.  I'll post a picture for it.  More showers coming in tonight.  Driving around the countryside here, we are seeing some beautiful homes and prime farmland.  We really like the area, and I'm sure we will be back again sometime.

 This covered bridge is just south of the Morrison-Rockwood State Park.  I'll have to find out the particulars on it another time.  It's in very good condition.

 This deck overlooks Lake Carlton in Morrison-Rockwood State park.

 We liked this unique sign going into the Morrison-Rockwood State Park.  They had geo-caches in the park, but the trails were too muddy to do today.  It would be fun to do them in the fall.  Hummm, another trip planned!  Maybe we can catch it on our way back southwest in October.
A geo-cache brought us to this interesting barn.  It was built in 1926 and was frequented by Al Capone during the prohibition.  The guards would keep watch from the windows above the main level.  In 1930 the federal agents raided the still and closed it down.  Without geo-caching we would have never known this.
