Treasure Hunting - Day 9

Image
  The last day of our adventure is always bittersweet. Generally, we are ready for our own beds, but not quite ready to leave our travels. We started our morning in Dubuque and quickly made our way to Madison.  We found a Geology Museum at the University there that we had never been to. Although it was a smaller museum, it had quite a few specimens of interest.  After our short stop in Madison, we made our way to Appleton. We had planned on quite a bit of shopping, but the rain and the crazy amount of traffic changed our minds. We stopped at a few places and then we were back on the road.  Of course, we made a quick stop in Marinette to say a quick hi to Bigfoot and stock up on some cheese. Last night, I ordered the photos for our 4 new states this trip so that they would be ready to pick up from Walgreens when we rolled into town :). 41 states down, 9 more to go! Another Spring Break Trip on the Books---   Any guesses on where our n...

On the Hunt For Dinosaurs Once Again! Day 2

This morning started with some rain in Superior, Wisconsin. We had breakfast at hotel and then started our trek further west. Our first stop was in Perham, Minnesota. We didn't know that it was the self proclaimed turtle racing capital of the world. The troll portal was in a small pocket park that had some really cool murals and artistic turtles.  After finding the portal, we continued our journey west with a stop to see Jacob Everear. He is troll number 134 made by Thomas Dambo. If you are not familiar with him, he is a Danish artist who makes sculptures out of reclaimed wood. His trolls have become quite popular all over the world. You can learn more on his website here. While we were in the area, we found out that Frazee is also the home of the World's Largest Turkey, so of course we had to stop there first.  Today's trolls are part of Project 412 in the greater Detroit Lakes area. We did not see all of the trolls or portals today, but we did manage to see 4 of them an...

Treasure Hunting- Day 3

A Pyramid and 6 Trolls Oh, My! We grabbed some breakfast at the hotel and hit the road running. We were about 2 hours away from our first stop, The Bass ProShop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.  We took the elevator up to the top... It was pretty awesome. We spent some time wandering the shop before heading to our next stop, the Memphis Botanical Gardens.  I am not sure if you have heard about Thomas Dambo, but he is a Danish artist who recycles materials into Troll Sculptures. We have one in the U.P. (Ben2ny the Beardfisher).  The botanical garden in Memphis has 6 trolls on  display until May 21, 2025.  Ronya Redeye Rosa Sunfinger Kamma Can Sofus Lotus Ibbi Pip Basse Buller Then, we hit the road, venturing into 2 new to us states!  We will be exploring more in both states (Mississippi and Louisiana) over the next few days as our home base is right near their border.
