So a few minutes ago I checked the weather for here at West Okoboji and the 'Minutecast' said 'Hail likely for the next 11 minutes.' Yikes. So far we've had hard rain but no hail. And I am knocking on wood.
We arrived late yesterday afternoon at Emerson Bay State Park on the west side of Okoboji and spent some time choosing sites and getting level, so had to take in some R&R after that, followed by a simple supper and an early night.
Sunday at Beed's Lake was a beautiful day with a short bike ride in the morning and a trip to Town's End Winery in Hansell in the afternoon. It was their fall release festival which meant they had numerous local venders hawking their wares in tents on the grounds and live music. We passed up several well crafted items but I did succumb to a couple of jars of homemade jelly and jam. We finished off the day with Ken's smoked pork steak, potatoes, and fresh asparagus, with apple cake around the fire. Not too shabby.

Today we plan to visit the Arnold's Park area. I am the only one who has been there and that was circa 1955. It may have changed. And at some point today we need to make plans for where we go next.
And the 11 minutes has passed, as well as the storm, and no hail!
