There's a lot of corn between Minneapolis and Madison.
Once you get into Wisconsin, cows become more common and the countryside becomes more heavily forested. At least along the route I took. My GPS gave me directions that avoided the major highways for most of the trip, and still beat the Google Maps time estimate by a fair amount.
I met up with Bo and Heidi, my friends and hosts in Madison, and Eric and Larissa at an outdoor theater. We had a delicious picnic lunch, and watched a fun production of The Taming of the Shrew.
Back at Bo and Heidi's house, we made and ate some sushi and hung out around a bonfire. I got some tips on where to get tires and which roads to take to get to Chicago from their friend Vaughn.
