Chicago to Fargo

   My plan for the day changed pretty quick when I got stuck in downtown Chicago traffic. I had the idea of a scenic drive up the western shore of Lake Michigan, but after 2 hours and not even making it to Milwaukee I knew I would waste the whole day if I tried to make it up to Green Bay. I gave up and headed northwest through Wisconsin toward Minneapolis.

   There weren't any good pictures again today with 675 miles of highway covered. There was a lonely country crossroad near Milwaukee where the sign said 76th St. Since there was nothing in sight nearby it made me wonder where the other 75 streets were.

   There are county roads in Wisconsin that have letters instead of numbers; I was on a Highway "C" and "UU". I passed a Highway  "X" and wondered if it went maybe to Rozwell.

   I stopped for lunch next to a cheese souvenir shop then made it across Minnesota to Fargo ND to spend the night. I crossed the Red River into North Dakota around 9:00 pm and the sun was still shining.

  1. Hi John,
    I can't believe you couldn't find any interesting pictures in the beautiful, if not monotonous landscape, of the Wisconsin dairy land. Nice pic of the mouse though. Be safe.

  2. Milwaukee to Madison to Minneapolis was pretty, I needed someone riding shotgun to take pictures. Thanks Steve
