Well that about wraps it up for the windmills. I got off the bus in Granite Falls and rode the 17 or so miles to Renville. After I climbed up out of the Minnesota River valley, I stopped to take a couple of shots. |

About 5 miles west of Renville is the little town of Sacred Heart... |

Wow! What a trip that was! Probably next summer I will do a car trip to Texas, the South, and the East Coast, but if my car is being a pain in the ass I might just ditch that plan and bike ride west to Washington.
