Northern Exposure--Day 52

Today we decided to explore some areas where we had never been. Got on Interstate 35 and headed south to the town of Moose Lake. Joanne had read that they had an Agate Museum there and since she likes agates we decided to go have a look. Although the museum was disappointing, a small room in the welcome center to a state park, the town of Moose Lake was kind of interesting. It is always refreshing to see these towns that have maintained their downtown areas. We did stop at the Chamber of Commerce office to get directions to the museum and Buddy took a rest on their bench. Also, they had a big moose statue in front of their building.

This evening Joanne's aunt and uncle, Pat & Dennis, came over. We took them into Canal Park to Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que for dinner. We have seen Famous Dave's all over the south but have never been to one. Had to get up north where Bar-B-Que is not a staple of the diet to try them out. After dinner we all came back to the coach and played cards.
