Lake Wobegon Trail to Sauk Centre, MN





Great trail!










JP Auer-the rest of the story!
Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon, the associated town are fictional. According to JP, Albany is the real Lake Wobegon... It's where Garrison Keillor hung out, it has a lake, and a high school. So let it be known this is the real Lake Wobegon. Additionally another interesting fact is that it was the epicenter of Minnesota 13... which was a species of corn specifically developed for this area and the corn that makes great moonshine. The inference is that this is the moonshine capital of Minnesota according to JP. It makes for a great story so who might argue.




Albany, Minnesota

Melrose, Minnesota
The German Catholics certainly know how to build cathedrals!

  1. Hey uncle Steve, I was out running this am (25 minutes straight running- yeah) and I shared the crosswalk across ocean avenue with a coyote. :). Keep pedaling.
