Monday, South Beloit, IL to Luverne, MN
From Beloit, we drove north on I-90 to Wisconsin. We were on a mission to find a souvenir thimble from Wisconsin for one of our friends back home. We stopped a a lot of truck stops and gift stores and cheese stores:
Unfortunately we were not successful. There were no WI thimbles to be found. If any one can track down a WI thimble, Lyndi will gladly pay cost and shipping.
We followed I-90 and turned West toward Minnesota. We stopped in La Crosse, WI and had a good time sight seeing, shopping and getting Coney Island chili-dogs. La Crosse has a local Town Brewery that offers the largest six-pack in the world:
We crossed the Mississippi River into Minnesota and continued west on I-90. We live in farm country in Maryland but we were amazed at how many beautiful dairy farms there are in Minnesota.
Near Rochester, MN we had the great pleasure to meet up with Mark (MarkSS). It was a thrill to see his excellent Red 1990 Lingenfelter 368 cubic inch ZR-1. It was fun to learn about the active ZR-1 community in Central MN. His Father, Brother and a friend each have ZR-1's. Mark escorted us for a while as we drove west. It was a thrill when he blew by us on his exit ramp:
As we continued on to Luverne, we were racing the clouds and caught on a few drops of rain:
