July 13 – Rock Cut State Park, Rockford, IL

Today was a three state day and 350 miles. Minnesota, Wisconsin and now Illinois. The day started off with a visit to the Jolly Green Giant and Little Sprout.

Sprout and Ginger, the wonder dog. This a significant tourist draw for Blue Earth, MN. Don’t believe me? Look it up on Google Maps.

Of course Sprout would be lonely without the Giant.

Of course the Jolly Green Giant has scored his own street.
And here he is, the major draw for Blue Earth.
Of course there is an opportunity to ham it up, so we did.
And for those who want to know, here is the backstory.
Presented by a somewhat more hirsute me.

Tomorrow will probably find us on the other side of Indianapolis, IN. Another state, another time zone and we’ll be another day closer to our next objective, Lancaster, PA>
