A few months ago we tossed around the idea of a Prairie Pilgramage to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museums and Homesites. Well, after much consideration and cabin fever) I have been looking into this project.This will require some feedback from anyone interested.
This will be a ZIG ZAG across the prairie states. The zig and the zag are important for travel/convoy.
This is how the trail rendezvous will work. Anyone is invited to join the trail at anytime. Reservations must be made in advance!! No exceptions for this. You will be responsible for getting to and from point A to point B to point C ETC.You will be responsible for all of your own expenses, gas, etc.For those who do not have campers or tents , hotels/motels will be suggested in close proximity. There maybe a bus tour involved on some of the sites.
We MUST plan "giving projects" along the way. We will have this figured out before the tour. Donations such as clothing, food pantries, etc. Something to give back to the community.
There are 6 designated sites we will be seeing. There will scheduled stops along the way for additonal museums and parks. This need to be planned as a group as well.Like mentioned before.. anyone can join and drop out at anytime. You must decide how much of the tour you can do or want to do.
This will be a great opportunity to meet up with pen pals, blog pals, family ( if you wish) and to meet new friends and farm sisters.Each chapter is welcome to plan a night of activites, food and fun.There will be pre-announced contests along the way.In De Smet,SD there is a scavenger hunt with a pre-purchased it from the museum. We can have a board game night, craft night, learn a new craft night and planned pot lucks etc.
Starting in De Smet, SD to Walnut Grove, MN to Pepin WI, to Burr Oak, IA to Independece, KS and finally to Mansfield, MO.I know that Pepin is the birthplace, but for traveling sake this will help with the zig zag.We will try to make the best recommendations for everything from road travel, restaurants, camping and hotels.
There will be a phone tree for everyone on the trail so we do not lose anyone. There will also be waivers and contact information to be filled out by everyone. Safety first.
Anyone interested in the idea please contact me as soon as possible so we can start a blog site and those not able to join us can read about our travels and enjoy the photos as if they were eating dust on the trail with us. The month of June comes to mind. It is before it gets to hot and after the rains. July is the Farm Fair at Mary Janes Farm do not want to miss that.
Thanks.WENDE#660

Many of you are getting cabin fever like me, because the weather is clear and still..yep.. clear up to your fanny and still snowing !!!
Remember spring and summer are on the way to save the day!
And, as a reminder September will be here before we know it and we need to do a great deal of planning for the 2010 Arpon Gathering, September 18th at Shoal Creek Living History Museum.
A few things already planned are - County Fair Contest -judging will be in the categories of canning /preseving, handwork and baked goods ; Photo contest, Sweep Repeat cookbook exchange, Farm classes and seminars and a signature/friendship quilt for the event.
Rene Groom will be attending as well as authors for book signings.
