More from Minnesota - moved to the southeastern flooded area

Aug 26 Sun ... Took a Sunday drive into Iowa to the town of Decorah where we stopped at the local, you guessed it ‘Walmart’, to have them check out our new tires as the car was pulling to the left pretty bad. They balanced and rotated them & they are somewhat better now. Next stop was the tiny town of Burr Oak which is where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived. We saw the house that is said to be the only house they lived in that is on its original site. It is now a museum of course. Upon our return home we went to the pool. The Rv park is near empty as all the weekenders left today.
Aug 25 Sat ... While the rest of the country is very hot, and in some cases stormy, we are sunny and cool with a high temp expected in the mid-70’s. We needed groceries so we drove a short distance (roads through corn fields) to the small town of Spring Grove, MN, a town that sprung up in the 1850’s and was Minnesota’s first Norwegian settlement. After shopping at the local IGA store, we decided to explore some of the several junk, or as they’re called, antique shops in the downtown area. One of the stores was formally a three story hotel built in 1898 and today every room is filled with junk/antiques. This afternoon, Mike cleaned the tires of the mh while Dixie read. After dinner, we took a dusk walk up a hill to some tent sites.
Aug 24 Fri ...Move day! We are headed to the area in southeaster MN where there has been lots of flooding – we were advised by the park that some of there sites are still OK!
After a long drive, 280 miles is long for us, we arrived at Hidden Bluffs “Resort” near the small town of Spring Grove, MN. While backing in to our site, the motorhome basically, got stuck in the mud in a low spot. Several neighbors came out to assist and after getting out the shovels to level the ground and putting down wood blocks, I was finally able to move the motorhome forward and then quickly backward into the site. This was the first time to be “stuck” in six years of motorhoming and 2 ½ years of fulltiming. The country side in this area is very beautiful....rolling lush green hills (you would think it was early Jun - what a difference rain makes). Did I mention corn fields?
Aug 23 Thurs … Rain is in the forecast again today. Looks like a laundry day.
Aug 22 Wed … For a welcome change, the weather today is warm and sunny. We decided to ride the bikes along the Soo Line Trail, a 114 mile bike/atv trail. We rode it from Wahkon, the town we’re near, to Isle, a small town about 7 miles away. It was an easy ride because the trail is paved and mostly level. In Isle, we browsed the local hardware store and had a smoothie at a coffee shop. We’re supposed to move tomorrow to Southern Minnesota; however, the park called and said we may not be able to come due to the flooding in the area. We have to call them on Friday morning before we depart.
Aug 21 Tue … We’re putting together a package for Brandon to send to Iraq so we drove to the small town of Isle to look for more items to include. Dixie made some cookies and and some party snacks. We also bought some jerky at a local meat market. We mailed the package from the Isle Post Office. Back home we did little other than read while Mike worked on things around the motorhome. Earlier, Dixie made some phone calls and online reservations for our upcoming stops in Texas in October, November and December.
Aug 20 Mon … We took a drive into Wahkon in order to visit the Post Office. The weather is still cool and wet so for the remainder of the day, we did things inside.
