Have you been to the RR museum in Duluth?

Taconite mines.

North Shore of Lake Superior. Most beautiful place on earth.

Ford used to have tour of their assembly plant, may be shut down.

go see the used equipment jockeys in Hopkins, several other places.

See a Twins game.

If you got big bucks, buy a scalp ticket to a Wild game.


No, no, no! It's Vikings season! And Green Bay isn't that far, I
don't know if it's less than 200 mi., but it's less than a day's
drive. :-)


Go fishing on Mille Laks lake. There's launches to just rent a ride. They're
killing 'em but hard to get around the slot limit.

Visit the Indians (casino) and give them your hard earned money.

Take a drive on Hiway 61 south of the Twin Cities.

Isn't that the one that goes through St. Peter, and into the Valley
of the Jolly Green Giant? I have relatives in the Mankato area.

The Hormel plant is in Austin, a few hours' drive, but I don't know
if they still have tours - I went on one about 50 years ago, and it
was fascinating, if a bit smelly. ;-) But at least you can see where
they make the "real" Spam. ;-)

Have Fun!
