Due to a family obligation on my wife's side, I'm sitting in a coffee shop in a small town 20-miles west of the Mayo Clinic. It's where the land has become flat and the trees are starting to peter out. It was a last-minute trip following the most direct and fastest route, Interstate 80 to 80/90, then 90/94, and eventually just 90 north of the Wisconsin Dells. Somewhere, west of Cleveland, the traffic increased to annoying levels. 50 miles east of Chicago, the construction began and stayed constant for a 100-miles. A steady 75 mph, all lanes packed and closely spaced, bunching along the uneven pavement and swerving to the altered traffic patterns. About 4 hours later, we had driven 780 miles, still dealing with heavy truck traffic, and happy to be done for the day.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #1 South of there near the Wisconsin River and Mississippi River is scenic with nice roads. We gave up driving or riding through Chicago years ago. Hope your family member has good luck at Mayo.

Zitat von darrell im Beitrag #3 Kasson. Nothing appeared on the Map App when I asked for a coffee shop. Speaking of Dodge Center, I now know where Trash Trucks are made. My wife is doing a half day of work at her employer's home office in West Concord.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #2Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #1 No medical problem, we have to be in St. Paul for a memorial service on Thursday. My wife is doing a half day of work at her employer's home office. BTW - it's toasty outside.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #6 The Hubbell House. Best garlic bread you will ever taste along with some great main dishes. The Hubbell House, located in Mantorville, Minnesota, United States, is one of the oldest working restaurants in Minnesota and a Designated National Historic Site. The restaurant is located on Mantorville Avenue which runs through Mantorville. The building was originally constructed in 1854, but was rebuilt in 1856. |

Zitat von darrell im Beitrag #7Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #6 We didn't visit the restaurant, but my wife's cousins are fans. Apparently, my wife's Aunt (by marriage) lived in or around Mantorville as a kid.
