Wednesday Supplemental Post

A couple interesting, unrelated bits of information we've accumulated over the last week in this area:
The terrain is so flat here that they find it necessary to post the sign shown below every time there is a grade slight enough that you can't see for at least 25 miles. We commented to one another that if this same signage criteria was applied at home, all of our taxes would have to be raised substantially.

We found it odd that when they harvest their corn, they dump it on to the ground in these enormous piles. Not sure what this corn is going to be used for or how they get it back up off the ground, but i'm sure they know what they're doing.

Christopher was right to be concerned that we could run into an animal like a wolf or coyote... However, this one's name is Jada and she is a very friendly and very pretty Husky that is a pet of Larry and Dori Maas, our hosts.

  1. The harvesting there looks a lot different then what it looked like in our backyard this week! They are crazy huge piles of corn! I also love the road signs.
