USA: From One End To The Other... And Back!: Dag 11

Godt vejr -Skyede med sol af og til! Ca. 20˚/ Nice weather -Cloudy with a bit of sun! 68˚

Eden Prairie, MN --> Mill Bluff State Park (Camp Douglas), WI: 345km

Vi startede dagen i Minneapolis, Minnesota... -Nærmere betegnet ved en såkaldt "Stone Arch Bridge". Det skulle vist være den første bro der krydsede Mississippi River, tilbage i tiden, om vi nu husker helt rigtigt...!! (-Det er jo lige det :)

Derfra kørte vi lidt rundt i byen, for så at forsætte til "Mall of America" bagefter! Det er det største shoppingcenter i USA og de havde minsandten også en kæmpe forlystelsespark, midt inde i det hele...! Parkeringshuset var lidt af en udfordring, men vi fik nu plads allerførst for :) Pyhaa...!! Haha :)

Fra Minneapolis kørte vi til St. Paul, som er Minnesota's hovedstad og dermed skulle vi jo lige ha' "Capitol Bygningen" med! Stadig ikke så flot som den allerførste vi så i Sacramento, tilbage i Californien.

Et stenkast fra Capitol Bygningen, lå St. Paul Cathedral! Flot stor kirke (katedral?!), hvor der ovenikøbet var bryllup! Eller i alle fald bryllupsfotografering :) Så stort og flot, at man ikke aner hvordan sådan noget er blevet bygget i tidernes morgen...! -Altså hvor starter man henne, når det gælder så stort et projekt?

Vi endte dagen i Mill Bluff State Park, Wisconsin! Camperede for natten, i hvilket der viste sig at være en yderst primitiv campingplads! "Toiletter" var der... Dog uden nogen form for vand nogen steder!! Lidt underligt med en bundløst toilet... Haha :)

Vi gik en lille tur om aftenen, efter endt aftensmad :) En lang trappe tog os op til toppen, hvorfra vi havde en skøn udsigt over hele området! På tilbagevejen mødte vi et tog, som viste sig at køre lige igennem campingpladsen (eller måske var det lige ved siden af...) Larmede gjorde det i alle fald og det skete endda op til flere gange i timen... Også i løbet af natten! Ikke helt lidt at se film i den larm... Så det blev til flere pauser nu og da! Ellers havde vi det hyggeligt og sov dejligt blandt alle myggene...

Eden Prairie, MN --> Mill Bluff State Park (Camp Douglas), WI: 216miles

We started the day in Minneapolis, Minnesota... More specifically at a "Stone Arch Bridge". The first to cross the Mississippi River, if remembering correctly! (-That's the question...?! :)

From there we drove around town for a while, until ending up at "Mall of America"... The biggest one in the states!! They even had a huge amusement park in the middle of everything :)

From Minneapolis we headed to St. Paul... The capitol of Minnesota! Obviously we had to catch a glimpse of the capitol building, though this one wasn't even close to being as nice as the one back in Sacramento, California!

Across from the capitol building, we saw "St. Paul Cathedral" where there was even a wedding happening... Or at least the photography part of it :) -Very nice!! Extremely beautiful and indeed a BIG church!! Amazing how these great buildings have been built back in the days... I mean... Where does one start??

We ended the day in Mill Bluff State Park, Wisconsin. We camped for the night, in which turned out to be a very primitive camp sight! "Restrooms" they had... Though none water whatsoever!! Quite weird with a toilet, which turned out to be, not much more than a hole in the ground... Haha :)

In the evening we went for a little walk, after having finished dinner :) A long flight of stairs took us to the top, from where we had a lovely view of the entire surrounding area! On the way back we encountered a train, which happened to run right thru the camp sight (or perhaps it was right next to it!) No matter what it was as loud as we don't know what... And it even came thru several times an hour... As well as during the night! Not the easiest conditions for watching a movie and we therefor had to pause it multiple times :) Despite that, we had ourselves a good time and surprisingly enough slept well amongst all the mosquitos :)
