1. For What It’s Worth                                                              - 190 Days and counting


Travels & Destinations

Minnesota
Only been to Minnesota a couple of times, so not too sure what is there to see.  Lots of open country I believe, so that could be cool. The Land of 20,000 Lakes and lots of mosquitos too I know.  We will need some kind of repellant when we are there.  Snoopy won’t like the bugs just as I hate them.  We are alike with things such as that.  We have been spoiled for oh too long.  We might have to try our hand at some fishing up there.  We also have a buddy, Hutch, who lives near the Twin Cities, who is originally from Boston area.  He has been there for quite a time now I guess working as an aircraft mechanic like I used to be.  The weather there has got to suck for working outside I bet.  Hopefully he has found a way to keep and stay warm.  Not sure what there is to do there but I bet it is some outdoor adventure

Wisconsin
I have always loved Wisconsin.  The people there are friendly, the land is beautiful, the cops… the winters… well, let’s just say I love a lot of what makes Wisconsin a great place.  As all Illinoisans know, the cops in Wisconsin prey on out of state drivers, especially automobiles from Illinois.  They tend to home in on them like bees to something sweet.  Seems like every time we were in the state of Wisconsin, someone got a ticket for some moving violation, even though everyone else was doing the same speed or like behavior.  Other than that little issue, I do like that area a whole lot.  The people seem so friendly I thought, so time spent there will be nice I am sure.   The Wisconsin Dells is a vacation destination that I have never been to.  I am probably the only guy who has lived in the Chicagoland area that has never been there, even for a day visit.  Someone also told me about Pattison State Park near Superior, WI that we need to visit.  I guess we will have to check out this state a bit more since it is so beautiful.
