Red Wing

From nowhere WI we traveled near Green Bay and hit the New Zoo. A smaller zoo but just enough for us to get through before a huge thunderstorm hit. The penguins and lion won out for best animal to our family. We drove for several hours to get to Wassau, WI. Not for anything specific but to just spend the night. We were beside the Wisconsin river. It was the worst campground so far with terrible roads to navigate an RV. From there we traveled for 5 hours into Minnesota where we are currently in the city of Red Wing. This is the famous shoe maker ironically that John patronized for all his years in construction. We crossed the Mississippi to get here. This far north the river is not very wide.

This is the cheapest we saw gas at $3.84 a gallon. The most expensive we have seen was in Michigan at Mackinaw City where it was a whopping $4.50. This has been interesting to see change from town to town and we will keep you posted on our finding.

John and I discussed how we always have a picture of what a campground will look like in our mind before we get to it. The name surely affects this image. Now we are at one named Treasure Island. I don't know what this conjures up for you all but it is a big parking lot. That's it. It does have hook ups but not much else. It sits next to a huge casino so I'm guessing these campers aren't here to enjoy the great outdoors. We were able to use the pool in the casino though so that is one bonus.

John found a MX track that him and Gabe will hit today. We will see what else we can get into here in the parking lot.

Sorry about the above photo I can't figure out how to turn it. It's the kids at the pool and the zoo.
