Today has been a day of roadside attractions. We stopped at the Hormel Spam Museum, took a ton of pictures, and enjoyed the gift shop. Next up was a giant green, uhm, giant statue in Blue Earth, Minnesota. The Highways in Minnesota are pretty bad, giant pot holes, and rippling bumps. However, we are lucking out with the weather: overcast but bright with temperatures in the upper seventies. This is also the part of the trip where internet connections come and go, so I am starting to queue up the entries again. Last night was a bit tricky, we missed the turn for the Grumpy Troll Brew-pup and had to navigate an intricate system of country roads (which, in wisconsin, don't have numbers, only letters). We made it to the bed and breakfast close to 11pm, and promptly fell asleep. The mini's front grill is completely plastered with mosquitos. There was some flooding in Wisconsin but not that much. Madison looks like a really cool place.
