Linda's dream come true

Growing up in the 1950s, it was Linda Rolfsrud Letnes' dream to someday live in a real trailer house. Everything new and close to where you needed it. Cozy.

Little did she know that with a bit of patience, her dream would bear fruit, right in her own back yard. Above is Cottage Grove, Linda's childhood neighbor, where the groves of cottages have been magically transformed into groves of, well, trailer houses. Funseekers cram into these cozy summer homes on Lake Andrew, living it up, with nary a thought to the wistful little girl who once dreamed of trading up to a real trailer house.
