Minnesota 2012--Day 2

Another travel day.

We left Liberty, Missouri, after breakfast this morning and headed north.  Fairly uneventful day with a stop for fuel in Missouri and lunch in Iowa.  Traveled up through Des Moines and then across the state line into Minnesota.  Stopped for lunch at Boondocks, a cafe/motel/truckstop that lists it's location as Middle of Nowhere, Iowa.  (Good food but lousy service.)  After getting into Minnesota one of our primary stops was the Cabela's store just south of Faribault.  I love to shop at Cabela's.  Since we don't have their stores in Oklahoma I usually buy from them via their online catalog.  They have some of the lowest prices on ammunition.   Since I do a lot of target shooting I like to buy ammo in bulk.  Picked up a couple of cases of shells for two of my firearms.

We are now encamped at the Camp Faribo Campground in Faribault, Minnesota.  The plan is to leave here in the morning and arrive in Duluth sometime tomorrow afternoon.  So far the traffic has been fairly light, which is to be expected when traveling on Saturday and Sunday.  Tomorrow may be very different, especially since Interstate 35 goes right through the heart of Minneapolis.  Since we are only about 40 miles south of there I'll wait until after morning rush hour before heading that way.  We should be well past there by the time the noon rush starts.
