More Action at Lake Clitherall

We had a nice afternoon yesterday (Monday)in and around Lake Clitherall. Mom and Dad joined the Arnesons on an excursion to see Inspiration Peak, the Lady of Fatima Memorial and then a refreshing dip in the lake. I loved that as you can see from the pics below.

Dad tells about the adventure:

"Inspiration Peak is the third highest peak in Minnesota. A short but steep hike gets you to a breathtaking view of the surrounding lakes and hills in the distance. These were all formed by glaciers some years (like 10,000) ago. We then checked out the Lady of Fatima memorial. This bit of folk art was constructed by a local farmer in honor of his surviving cancer. He attributes his recovery to the patron saint of medical care-Lady Fatima. You can see below that it's not a Micheangelo but quaint."

So then Mom, Pam, and Dave braved the frigid waters of Lake Clitherall for a dip. Dad wimped out, and stayed on the dock to take photos. The evening ended with a fabulous Walleye dinner and fresh corn.

Today we started our long trek back to South Carolina. Tonight we're near Lacrosse after driving 7 hours. Tomorrow we're heading to Bloomington, Il. We have a bit of worry about the hurricane but the experts think it will go north, probably North Carolina.

Later!
