(Egan, MN - June 27, 2008) The trip from DeForest, WI on Interstate 94 took us through the Wisconsin Dells area, most recently hit by the above-normal rains. And we were able to check out the "lake that is no more" -- Lake Delton. Because of the rains, a levee which formed the lake was washed out, and the lake was drained in a matter of hours. The photo tells it all.
After a few more hours of driving, we arrived in the Twin Cities area. We headed directly to the Mall of America for some sight-seeing and shopping. The crowds were typical for a Summer weekday, but the Mall never ceases to amaze with its variety of offerings.Tomorrow is the celebration of my sister's 40th wedding anniversary to be celebrated at their home in Red Wing. Again, more to come...
