There are no tourists in Minnesota as far as I can tell - I am the ONLY one with Maryland plates - and once in a great while I see a Wisconsin tag. Life here is really different. Folks in MN are gung ho about recycling (which I love) for there are bins at truck stops and gas stations for that purpose! How cool! Folks in Minnesota tend to drive pretty well and are pretty considerate - yes I have driven in St. Paul, Minneapolis and some of the enviorns already (I love to explore!) and am amazed at how UNSTRESSED these people are compared to where I come from (the Washington DC area). The accent is cute,  and the people are really nice.

Ok Jo ... I simply must respond to your comments on Minnesota.
You are correct in your description, as far as SOUTHERN MN is concerned. But once you get north, past Little Falls .. the state changes.
Up here in north central/northwest MN we have lots of Trees and Lakes... and the further north you go, the more sparse the population is. And the tourists come up here! We have people from all over - Texas, Canada, North Dakota, Oregon... everywhere.
So, I challenge you to come up north. I'll show you the true wilds of the Minnesota North Woods. We could even make a trip over to Duluth which is NOT flat .... rocky, hills, and of course, Lake Superior. Lots left to see Jo.
I agree .. Wisconsin is lovely.
