After dipping our toes in the waters at Stockholm, we added our own pass-storming option by climbing back up into the hills on a south-easterly route. Our destination was the birthplace home of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the beloved “Little House” author who was born here in 1867. Sun ablaze overhead, we enjoyed a rolling ride through apple orchards and farm land to the little cabin, then an exhilarating descent to rejoin the “official route” in the town of Pepin.
