We were back in farm country today and it was interesting to see modern electric generating windmills juxtaposed against the old farms. I wonder if either makes any money. --- I did see a few dairy cows today and what must have been a cheese factory, though there was no sign so indicating; just a modern building with four milk trucks parked, a large warehouse and a lot of exhaust fans. --- We travelled northeast mostly by going either north or east. The wind was from the northwest so we had either headwind (going north) or tailwind (going east). There was nothing in-between. --- You can see from the photo on the right we had ominous clouds much of the day, and they got worse as the day progressed. I got sprinkled on as I got close to the motel. Others who were a little bit later got caught in a rain shower. --- Riding east on county road X for 10 miles through corn fields and you come to a “T” intersection at road LS and there it is, Lake Michigan (more in tomorrow’s blog).
