Minneapolis 

Prior Lake, MN 
West Wisconsin - our last sighting of snow (hopefully for a while)

Rural Wisconsin dairy farm



Love the barns - very picturesque

We could just haul a boat around and live in that......




Oshkosh, WI (where the big military trucks and the overalls are made) - had a great dinner with the Wisconsin cousins here!


The Oshkosh, WI site.  The lights in the background is a prison and the hill to the left is a landfill.  Lovely.


The boys in the morning sun spot




The Cheese Castle in Wisconsin - not as cool of a place as one would think





Chicago

Chicagoland tunnel

Chicago White Sox Stadium





Michigan covered - only 3 states left to go!

New Buffalo, MI - not much to talk about here


We will hit OH, KY, and WV within 3 days

The Portage, IN Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Campground had A LOT of these "permanent" mobile homes....doubt this thing can get on the road.  Note that this campground was nestled between a busy interstate and a heavily traveled CSXT train line (4 trains/hour).  Perhaps the noise will lull us to sleep.
