Cranberry Land

We left Blaine mid-morning heading east on I-94. Nobody was home in Eau Claire so we kept on trucking. Just after Black River Falls (home of Lunda Construction, who makes most of the bridges in Minnesota) it was time for a break. One of those friendly freeway signs alerted us to the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center so off we went. Wisconsin takes many things very seriously: The Packers. Beer. Cheese. Smoked meats. But did you know about the cranberries? This was a wonderful stop that begged for more time than we gave it. The cranberry harvest was just ending and huge specialized trucks loaded with those beautiful healthful red berries were whizzing thru town. Making a note to get back this way some time. We had another 350 miles to our goal for the night: Champaign, IL.
