It's 10:15 and I'm in Grand Forks. Hope to get an early start tomorrow and video sights along the way.
By now Rose would only be about 120 miles from Minneapolis.
Drove through a rain storm for about 50 miles with visability about 100 feet. Enough to see the truck in front of me. I just followed his tail lights. It stopped about 20 miles from here.
Later.

My brother Phil has camera and computer in hand and is on his way to Togo, where in the 1920's grandma and grandpa took Betty, Theresa, Leo, Joe, Millie, and Loretta to live....and while there Eddie and Art were born. Phil's remark about Rose was Ma Blewitt. Can you imagine her driving a car all the way to Canada by herself to get Grandma and the kids and bring them back to Minnesota? The roads were almost none existant. Woods, indians and wild animals all around! How brave and tough she must have been. I'm sure there were no rest areas....or truck stops....much less motels! m

Mary & Philip,
What an fun trip you guys are making!!!
Would you please do me a HUGE favor (being your favorite and all), .. When you do find the homestead or school....would you put some dirt from that area in a jar or envelope to bring back for me?? I so would appreciate it.
I would love to be a little mouse in the back seat of the car.
Have a great trip and safe one too.
Love always
Cousin Janet
Looks like the Schieber women have always been strong women!
Sure Janet, I'll do that.
Wow Phillip,
I wish I could have taken that trip with you. Can't wait to hear more and see more at the cousin Christmas Party. I hope to be there.
