7AM we met Zannoths and headed south towards Kimball. There we picked up the Dicks in their 35 sedan. We stopped for breakfast in New Ulm. Just missed a deer on the highway, too close for comfort for me!
We arrived in Algona, IA about noon. Found Randy and Vicky's B&B, wow wnat a nice p;lace. Huge house built in 1913 or so, 25 rooms, all reubuilt by Randy in 9 short years.
They got their Lincoln Zephyr out of the garage and we all headed about 30 miles to take a tour of the Winnebago factory. That was very interesting. On the way home we found a neat antique store in an old barn. I think we all found something there to buy.
Saturday morning the gals went shopping and us guys went to see Randy's shop about 10 miles away. The next stop was a tree grove to check out an old bus that Randy had heard about. It was a 32 Dodge weged between two trees. He will need a chainsaw and a tractor to get it out!
About 2 PM we headed for Northifield, MN to our hotel and then onto Hastings for a cruise night. There was close to 1000 cars. One of the most impressive was a Peterbuilt V12 truck, all chrome or polished aluminum...pretty cool.
Sunday we had special parking by the newly relocated Porkys drive in. There were around a 1000 cars there. So many people that they ran out of food.
About 3 us and the Nystroms headed north to home. It was a 630 mile weekend. The car ran fine, we all had a good time.
