On July 3rd in the very southwest corner, we drove out of Minnesota through Luverne.
It felt like we might have been following the pretty Canadian geese that filled Luverne's city park - however we didn't leave behind all the fresh fertilizer they did - whew!
Just inside Iowa, near Rock Rapids I stopped . . .
-- where a huge empty silo (twice as tall as the damaged one beside it) was torn apart and left shredded by a recent wind storm.
Two young men were working on the hot metal in 100+ degree heat - removing large screws one-by-one.
One was more than willing to stop and explain how storms in this area are capable of this damage (especially empty silos). Because the owners don't have insurance and want to salvage every piece (for reassembly), he was delighted he had work for 6 months, he guessed.
His buddy too was then very willing to answer more questions - taking a long break in the intense Iowa heat.
