    Sleeping with wool is great. It breathes, so you are not damp.
    Interstate parks, MN &WI, are geology fascinating.

    When I saw Paul Bunyan's arm, I flashed back to when you injured your shoulder riding the motorcycle. And yes, both Ethiopian food and coffee are wonderful!

      Probably one of the common hazards of 4-wheel, off-road camping. The sides of the vehicle look nice, but they've probably been marred and scraped.

    WTR, HI, so now that you went to the SPAM museum, so I guess you found whom eats the most SPAM, I saw so many types I never knew exist .as you bought a few , nice trip though , , ever bought winter windshield wipers? I used to use them, but I do not drive much anymore .. KAIT cracks me up, but a. Wonderful person , asI recall she has a REALproblem with mosquitos , BTW, how is diesel recently , it’s $4 + here in NJ so food is up in cost, happy trails stay well, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Welcome to my home state. There are lots of other awesome places to visit here. You were lucky to enjoy the headwaters alone. Unless it is off season, that area is always busy. BTW. Hickory smoked Spam tastes the same as bacon Spam which is our family’s favorite. Chorizo Spam is a close second. Of course, we usually only keep our Spam consumption for camping trips.

    Hello Russo's😊😊, this was a great video and really enjoyed the boat ride through Voyagers National Park. I'm a big fan of boat rides. I have also spent time in MN, traveling through Michigan's Upper Peninsula( I'm from RI )to check places like Duluth, Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, Betty's Pies, Isthaca State Park. However, I haven't visited Voyagers yet so at some point I will visit MN again to take those boat rides. Great Video👍👍👍👍👍!!

Lots to see here in the Southern part of the state too!.... Rochester has the Mayo clinic and lots of cute parks. Hugs from Minnesota

Voyagers National park is also a gem. You have so much more to see. Please come back and check out the river towns along the Mississippi.

    Thank you for making such a quality video about my home. I had no idea the s Spam Museum is free- time for a geocaching road trip! That Ethiopian restaurant is the best. I especially love Kate's appreciation of our one and only national park. Soon after this video posted news outlets reported that Voyagers National Park is the least visited in the nation. Perhaps MN Dept. Of Tourism should enlist you two as park ambassadors! 😁

  • @TrishBenedict

    I like a super dark roast, espresso strength. I just got an Aeropress, but I am hesitant. I’ve passed on them before because of the potential to be really messy if it tips over while pressing (we’re always slightly off level and everything feels disorienting inside) I took a small Nespresso machine along, but it just took up too much space for our Travato. Mostly we drink Starbucks vVia instant Italian roast on the road. Good enough for camping.
