My time in Rochester MN has come to an end. By the time I left, I felt very proficient with the zero turn lawn mowers. I even got to use an old Bobcat one day to repair some road ruts after a heavy rain. And for the second job in a row, I was treated to a Chinese buffet just before leaving. This time, it was just me, the owner, and my girlfriend. This was a lunch affair and happened at my second favorite buffet in the city since my favorite place had closed unexpectedly about 2 weeks before that. I also got surprised with an end of season bonus. Does 2 jobs in a row count as a streak when both owners would gladly take me back?

About a week before leaving, I noticed an interesting looking tree in the park. No idea how I could’ve missed this before but it definitely caught my eye this time.

We also managed to visit Niagara Cave in Harmony MN on a rainy day. One of the smaller caves I’ve visited but still interesting.

If you ever visit Rochester MN, be sure to check out their extensive walking and biking trail system throughout the city. Also, wave at the ear of corn water tower on the south side of the city.
