This 12-day trackchasing trip started by riding this shuttle at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport.
At a Minnesota interstate rest area, we stopped to "Reposition" our luggage.
Since we left the house at 4 a.m., we stopped by Lake Minnewaska for a short nap.
Once we reached the Stevens County Fairgrrounds, we stopped to smell the flowers.
This was a county fair flower contest. I'm partial to the reds.
No county fair enduro race can be complete without a visit to the livestock barns.
Carol had never seen a portable hand washer like this one before. She liked it!
This crowd was enjoying a BBQ dinner in a very hot and humid arena.
We're
sitting in the hockey arena's "Penalty box" with our BBQ dinner.
I think this proves that I take better pictures with my digital camera
than anyone else does. Check out my shirt!
Take
a look at this picture closely. It shows the country life in
action. Note how many different groups are enjoying the company
of each other.
This is an example of an "Enduro" racecar.
The cars pack the track before very many folks have filled the grandstand.
Carol gets her free ear plugs compliments of the Stevens County Fair.
Fifteen
cars started the enduro one hour and fifteen minute feature.
There were five or six more who failed the tech inspection.
Look at the automobile tires that were stuck in between the huge concrete block retaining wall.
The starter didn't have much to do during most of the enduro race.
