I was at that shop a few years ago, and I wouldn't drive more than 5 miles out of my way to say I'd been there.

Your trip along the Mississippi sounds like a fun drive.

It is!!!! Other than a few other drives, Mississippi River Road is very enjoyable...when you have the road and not the Mississippi. My house is 50 feet off that road.
