Let's Get To Living Tour: Wisconsin and Minnesota

After getting to the Mackinac Bridge, we looked for a place to stay, but only found hunting cabins. Adam said he was fine to keep driving and we agreed to continue on for a little while longer hoping to find a town where we could stay for the night. It was getting really dark when Adam slammed on the brakes. I must have been distracted because I had no idea what he was doing and had to grab the dash. When I looked up we were 5 feet away from a huge deer stranding in the middle of the road. That woke us up! From then on we were both on extreme deer watch. They were everywhere!

We were driving on a 2 lane road in the middle of nowhere when we rounded a corner and the headlights flashed on what looked like a big black bear staring at us in a pasture. At the same time we both said, “Did you see that bear!?!” We were both freaked out! After some discussion we decided it was probably just a big ass cow but it was really spooky looking. After that we knew that it was time to get a room somewhere, anywhere to rest. By the time we pulled into the Main Street Inn in Crandon, Wisconsin at 3:00am, our eyes were bloodshot and exhausted from steady scanning the shoulders for deer (and bears, he he).

After a couple hours sleep in the cozy little cabin style room, we all piled back in the truck and enjoyed the Wisconsin countryside. I did not want to be stuck in the truck all day so we planned out our course and I picked Minneapolis as a good stopping place.

What state are we in now?

What a cool city. I did a quick trip advisor search on my phone and picked the Sculpture Gardens as our site seeing adventure in Minnesota. It was the perfect place for us all to get out and stretch our legs. We also got to experience some cool art outside, the temperature was perfect.
