End of Day 1 - Blogabond

Debbie's Blog- so Randy is falling down on the job and I not only had to finish driving for the day but now have to write this log!! :) Anyway, we arrive [[United-States/Albert-Lea]] early at 4:45pm- (darn timezone change we forgot about - had I remembered I could've gotten one more hour of sleep this morning) and we went to visitg Farmer Pitchfork Pete
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/19562. He is a tall dude standing in front of a fleet and farm store in the middle of the town. We got some really weird stares from passerbys and customers of the store due to the fact that Randy had to put up a tripod to take a family photo in front of this attraction. The Gnome also made an appearance, and I think he needs to start his own blog. The kids were not too impressed with Pete and I am not sure if this was due to the fact that we had been in the RV for almost 12 hours at this point or if it was because he was not that thrilling.
Back on the road by 5:15pm and headed to the campground. Randy decided to inform us at this point that there were 4 geocaches in [[United-States/Albert-Lea]] that he wanted to find- he was unanimously told NO but we did relent and let him find one that was on the way to the campground. Arrived at the campgound at 5:30 to be pleasantly Surprised by G and G Utpadel, who we were not suppose to meet until tomorrow. They had come down early and set up camp and Surprise us. The campground, Hickory Hills was very nice. Off to bed to start day two of our trip. Tomorrow is packed with some more neat things to see.
