It was a cruise ship operated by the American Queen Steamboat Company \u2013 we had no idea that river cruises were a possibility! How enchanting! Ever since, our imaginations have been captivated by the thought of someday hopping aboard and riding the river, like an overgrown Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn \u2013 but in style, of course!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Is there any place in the world you have been that reminds you of, or is similar to the Driftless.<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The Driftless is incomparable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">What is your best childhood memory?

When I was a kid, my extended family celebrated every 4th of July at the farm of my Great Aunt Myrtle in Litchville, North Dakota, very near the old family homestead. Much reminiscing would happen about our family\u2019s history, and I was all ears, my imagination sparking by tales told of pioneering life on the High Plains. (Remember, I\u2019m a lifelong Little House fan\u2026) Another great aunt, Ethel, would travel up each year from a mythical place called the Driftless, which seemed a place beyond any I could imagine out on the flat landscape of North Dakota. Fast forward to my surprise many years later when, shortly after we bought the Meier House here in the Driftless, I discovered that Great Aunt Ethel was now living in a nursing facility near her beloved summer cabin on the Mississippi, just a half-hour away! I began routinely visiting her. She was nearing 100 and suffering from dementia, but her memory about her childhood remained crystal clear. She was the last surviving member of that generation of the family. I cherish the short amount of time I got to spend with her, listening to her memories of life nearly a century ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">What are some of your favorite places to go for fun here in the Driftless?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Antique malls and thrift stores! We\u2019re avid seekers of unique pieces of vintage furniture and fixtures, and have a regular circuit we hit all over the area. We also love walking the trails at the many scenic state parks throughout the Driftless, especially at Pikes Peak State Park alongside the Mississippi in McGregor, IA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">What are some of your favorite (non commercial) places to eat here in the Driftless<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">For breakfast: Treats on Bridge Street in Elkader, followed by a stroll through the nearby Turkey River Antique Mall. For lunch: a delicious sandwich from either Magpie Caf\u00e9 and Coffeehouse in Decorah or Simply Caf\u00e9 in Prairie du Chien. For dinner: either the famous pork tenderloin sandwich at the St. Olaf Tap or the amazing pizza from TJ\u2019s in Monona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5617 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/michael_ja.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/michael_ja.jpg 400w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/michael_ja-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/driftlessareamag.com\/unicdn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/michael_ja-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>If you were to tell a friend to come and visit the Driftless Area, and they ask &#8220;Why&#8221; &#8230; What would you tell them?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Come for its unparalleled natural beauty and friendly locals, and to enjoy our hospitality at the historic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Meier House!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Are you a Cat or Dog person?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Cat<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Are you an Early Bird or Late Owl?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Neither, I&#8217;ll stick with Monkey<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">If given the opportunity, would you go to outerspace (moon, mars, space stations)?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Only if I can take my Monkey<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">What color socks are you currently wearing?<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">White, with a picture of Bert on one sock and Ernie on the other.
