While the keepers of Notes From the Road don’t update as frequently as some other webspaces, when they do you can bet it will be a promising and worthwhile read. Take their Great Plains series – here you’ll find a cozy read (maybe something to inspire bedtime travel dreams) about Austin, Minnesota’s famed Spam Museum and the quaint Amish areas of Harmony, MN. From the museum our author’s ponder Spam and its societal contributions to the people of Hawaii, Tonga, Samoa and such places before hurriedly moving to the dreamy southeastern corner of Minnesota we come to call Harmony. Why? Because that is in fact the location of this piece, along with Lanesboro. In short – they’ve got some interesting finds and notes.
