Going up the Country Geodining.com's first Road Trip

I am planning a road trip for the summer of 2007 where I will travel along US hwy 61 From New Orleans La. all the way to Thunder Bay Ontario Canada. I will then drive to International Falls and head south via Us hwy 71 to Krotz Springs La. near Opelousas. Some of the cities I will pass through include New Orleans LA., Baton Rouge La.,Natchez MS., Vicksburg MS., Mephis TN., St Louis MO., Davenport IO., Dubuque IO., La Crosse WI., Red Wing MN., St. Paul MN., Duluth MN., from here US 61 become MN 61 after crossing into Canada it become Ontario 61 Then onto Thunder Bay From there I will take Canada 11 to Fort Frances and cross back into the US at International Falls MN., and start my trip back on US 71 passing through these cities Wilmar MN., Darwin MN. (a side trip to see the twine ball), a bounch of small towns in IO, St. Joseph MO., Kansas City MO., Harrison MO., Bentonville AR., Rogers AR., Springdale AR., Fayetteville AR., Fort Smith AR.(I may take a short side trip to OK here), Texarkana AR./TX., Shrevport LA., Bossier City LA., Alexandria LA., end at Krotz Springs. If you know any good places along the way to eat just post them to the site. More details will be given later on. I will also be caching along the way so If you know of some good ones prety close to US hwy 61,71 or Canada 11 let me know

While the wife and I were working on the Wis Delorme Challenge we came across this cache on a one lane road along the Mississippi River:

GCGAX2 (DUCK!)

 

There is one just over the river in Iowa that gives a nice view:

GCQQ7Y (Welcome to Marquette 1974)

 

Those 2 are to the west of 61

 

Right on 61 are:

GCVDBY (Dinky little cache) in Fennimore, and GCVDBJ (Floyd Von Haden) on the north side of Boscobel

 

Enjoy the trip!

 

Zemmy!!
