Day 9 Friday Austin, Minnesota to Lake Delton, Wisconsin

Drove 211 miles, on the road at 9:20 am-an early start for us!

55*

We had breakfast on the road.  The temperature was cooler and there was dew on the grass. We passed sunflower fields and wind turbines. We had coffee in Eyota, MN.  We crossed the Mississippi and saw a barge pushing its load up river. We admired the huge, well kept lawns with lots of trees and beautiful gardens that we saw in the small towns.

Next on our list was the FAST Fiberglass Mold Graveyard Factory in Sparta,  WI.  These are the beginnings of roadside attractions. Here's a collection of those molds.  

Big dog

Every imaginable thing that could be made was here.

These were most likely swimming pool adornments.

This giant cow was in the shop for repairs.  There's Santa and a pumpkin in the distance,

How about a hippo for your yard?

What an eclectic collection.  That could be John Wayne standing back  to us.

I would love to have a moose stationed in our woods.

Guitars and a car kit ready for paint.

She can't decide on which flavor.

There weren't many choices for camping  but I found a private campground called "Country Roads".  They were mostly seasonal folks who were accepting of the transients.  We had breakfast with them on Saturday and in the evening,  we listened to Freddy Ferguson and his one man guitar show. This garden and bottle tree were in the park.
