| Octoberfest in New Ulm It was a perfect day for nine ULLRS to hike the three-mile trail in Flandrau State Park in New Ulm. Surprisingly we found the trail without getting lost. First picture opportunity was in the front of the natural, sand swimming pool, of course, closed for the season. I don’t think we had any lifeguards in the group! The trail had a few ups and downs with the vibrant fall foliage peeking through. A pleasant surprise along the trail was a herd of goats dutifully eating the overgrown buckthorn in the meadow. Our reward after the hike was to visit the Octoberfest celebration going on in town. With the lovely weather, it was not surprising to see a huge crowd, many dressed in German garb. A cold beverage from the Schell’s booth and a brat with German potato salad was just perfect! DANKE to all that joined in for the fun! |
