October 9, Sunday, Day 3

Whitewater SP, St Charles, MN, 327 mile jump

Up early, Penny did Tai Chi outdoors and I did my meditation and readings. We found a campsite in Minnesota near a town large enough to have an NPR station that would be broadcasting the debate. The drive up here was absolutely stunning; the fall colors were so brilliant, especially in the La Crosse area crossing the Mississippi. The limestone bluffs were amazing!

Arriving at Whitewater State Park was a very nice surprise. We got our bikes out for a short trip around the park. A river runs though the canyon in which the park is located and many of the sites are on the river; trees surround the sites and paved roads keep the dust down.

The radio signal is great and it’s time for the debate. Good night!
