Heading home. Poured like hell this morning. Streams will be muddy for a day or two.
Where I was camped is pretty much four hours straight west of my home. Where I store my trailer is 30 minutes straight north of my home. I am blindly following google directions to my storage facility. It just took me through the small town of Lodi Wisconsin where I went to high school for 2 weeks after which I went to high school in Madison Wisconsin for about 6 months, and then on to another high school. Several years later I lived in Lodi on my own for the summer of 1976. I enlisted in the Navy at the end of that summer and got the hell out of here.
This is the Del Monte canning plant where I was working when I enlisted in the Navy. It’s in Arlington WI just east of Lodi. A bittersweet ride home today.
My job was to sit on a forklift outside of the door behind the red truck, wait for palettes of canned vegetables, and load them on trucks. That’s all I was to do. I sat on that forklift and read Shogun in a few days.
Safe travels.
We can tell you are retired—it’s Thursday, the 16th!hahaha
Your pictures were beautiful; how great is it, that it’s right in your backyard.
Thanks, I’ll fix that. Just added a paragraph to today’s post
