One week after Chuck's reunion in Jamestown, ND, Barb's class had a reunion in Carrington, ND. They first assembled at the Municipal Golf Course and then drove consolidated vehicles to nearby "Dakota Sun Gardens", a farm that as a side business gives tours of their extensive flower gardens and their recently-established winery. That evening they re-gathered in town at The Chieftain for dinner. We spent that night as guests of Tim, Barb's only sibling to remain in North Dakota. Next day, Tim showed us how to get to the top of "Hawks Nest", a range of hills to the west of the highway that runs from Carrington to Jamestown. There are several such ranges in this part of North Dakota (and in eastern South Dakota); they were formed by the glaciers at the end of the last ice age dumping massive amounts of soil and rock as they receded northward.
On a windy day we visited Mike and Zona's cabin at Lake Isabel. On another occasion, when Erik and Cindy came back from Minneapolis to visit, we gathered with them and Mom and Zona and Jon and Kathy at a local Japanese restaurant. When we weren't off on other activities, Chuck spent a lot of time cutting dead branches out of the trees on Mike and Zona's property.
