Who would have thought that west Wisconsin and Minnesota would be so lush and pretty? Some parts really reminded me of home (Transylvania, Romania), minus the tall mountains in the background.

After another long day of driving, we settled at the small, no bells-n-whistles campsite Prairie Cove Campground and RV in Ashby, Minnesota. Although small and just off the highway, the campground was surprisingly quiet and the view of the water was absolutely lovely. A cool breeze rustled the poplar leaves, making beautiful music, and we took in the fresh air, grateful for a cool day. For the first time, we didn’t need to use the A/C at night, and had a restful sleep with all the vents open and the fans on.
