Monday we will strike out west for Okoboji for a couple of days and then the Dakotas and Montana. We hope. Unless there's an early blizzard.
![]() After weeks of planning--well, okay, we made reservations for Beed's Lake since it's Labor Day weekend--stocking and restocking the camper. adding a bike rack, arranging for one of our handsome grandsons to house sit, making sure we had some DVDs for those rainy, no TV reception places, and packing plenty of books, we launched yesterday and have set up at Beed's Lake, near Hampton. The place is packed but we have two sites facing each other across a small grassy area that works perfectly for us. We opted for a simple supper last night, walked down to see a beautiful sunset, and then had a visit with one of my classmates and her husband. Cool night, perfect for a fire, and no infestation of mosquitos and no-see'ums like our last couple of trips. Today, the boys will play golf at the beautiful Hampton Country Club while Harriet and I try out the bike trail. There is a 3-county yard sale going on along Highway 3--it sounds safe since we won't be able to carry any grand pianos or four poster beds on our bikes. This afternoon, I hear there's an Iowa game on TV.
