We left Larry's around 9 a.m. and headed down Hubbard County 26 to the south. Then we followed Hwy 10, which was our first 4-lane experience. At one point we had a train chugging along on one side and a semi whizzing past on the other. The mules were steady. It was a beautiful day with lessening snow cover and temperatures in the 60s. It was the first day we didn't feel like we were braving the elements. With the warm temperature we opened one of the windows on the side of the wagon for a breeze. Off Hwy 10 we went south to 9 and entered Todd county. We went south for 5 miles or so and then stopped to ask about a place to stay. Henry Zook was so kind to give us a place to the night. He is an Amish gentleman that builds furniture. He, along with his wife and 7 cherub children, shared their dinner with us. We'll be sleeping in Henry's shop for the night. The Zook farm is just east of Hewitt, MN.
Good night from the trail.
