Started off today heading east. Wanted to get over to see Diana's Uncle, before I headed up into Minnesota. Her Uncle lives in an area of a wind farm. Iowa is second only to Texas in the number of wind powered generators in the state. After a quick visit, I headed north into MN. Was a rather short leg in MN. and I crossed into Wisconsin at Red Wing, MN. This is where they make the work boots of the same name. This was my sixth and final time to cross the Mississippi on this quest. The river is definitely narrower here but it is still pretty hefty. As I was riding along, I passed a Harley/Ural motorcycle dealer. I had to go back, so that I could take a look at the Urals. I had heard of the bike, but never actually seen one, and there really aren't very many dealers. They come from Russia, and basically haven't changed looks since the original concept in WWII. Was kind of interesting, but I'm thinking getting spare parts could be an issue (I don't care what the salesman claims). Tomorrow it is east across WI., and then into the UP of Michigan.
