The river expands

Having been to the source the next move was all downhill, or at least it was all downriver....... And before long the stream we could have walked across was resembling the wide brown river we had been expecting.

 

All the way the CuRVy (and the pilots) had been following the instructions of Mrs Garvin (our GPS). 

And we'd been doing what we wanted and following Highway 61!!!!!!!!

Although the drive through Minnesota started through forest with the occasional farmhouse as we moved further along our journey the cleared space around farmhouses expanded with only occassional trees at the edge of beautiful farmland. Driving past Minneapolis and Saint Paul we headed further into productive farmland and along working river.

And as we found our motel in Winona I guess you could say life was pretty good.............
