We'll spend Thursday night near the airport, then drive 4 hours to Moorhead, MN and visit the Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center that includes information about the region's Scandinavian roots.
Next, we'll drive 3 hours to Bemidji, MN
(also see here) where the Mississippi River begins
within Itasca State Park.There we will spread the ashes of wifie's late husband as he had requested.
The next day we'll drive 6 hours back to St. Paul, where we have tickets to see Garrison Keilor's A Prairie Home Companion.
Sunday we'll drive 4 hours down to Madison, WI where we'll check into the University of Wisconsin
for my week-long class in energy utility regulation.I'm sure wifie will enjoy things to do on the campus and in Madison while I'm learning.
After class is done on Friday, we'll check into our motel in Edgerton, WI. Saturday we'll drive back into Madison to attend the Michael Feldman radio show Whad'Ya Know at Monona Terrace, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. So it'll be a National Public Radio trip.
After the show, we'll make a leisurely drive back to Minneapolis, driving through the countryside to enjoy local scenery, crafts and food. We may even pay a visit to Westby, Wisconsin (also see here) where I played a show with Leroy Van Dyke in May 2000.
We return Sunday night to Music City.
I hope to have stories and pictures to post after our return.

Have a good safe trip. It sounds like fun, for the most part. I think I was last in Minneapolis about 1983.
I want to see pictures! And hopefully I can hear all about it a few weeks later when I come thru Nashville.
