Sunday morning we strolled through Wabasha, MN. With a dramatic riverfront setting that made, and makes, it a port-of-call for paddle-wheelers, it’s one of those archetypal “middle America” towns that we just don’t have on the west coast. There’s a classic little hardware store, a city hall built in 1894, brick buildings everywhere, an impressive, new National Eagle Center, and more. After breakfast at the Eagles’ Nest, we all hit the road.
