The Makings for a Minnesota Migration

This guidebook deals with some great topics and locations in the state of Minnesota, plus highlighting a few to be found in western Wisconsin as well. It's a good connection to a variety of destinations and because of the wide range of interests covered; there is something here for everyone's curiosity, set of pace and budget. A few of the themed chapters revolve around: Family Day, Country Churches, Small Town Antiquing, Caves, Waterfalls, Garden Tours, Wine & Beer Tours, History & Arts, Train Trips, Romantic Getaways, the cities of Duluth and Rochester and many more. My personal favorite, the chapter that I particularly relished was The Extreme Adventures. But all together I think the book skimped out on one of my favorite activities, downhill skiing. It seemed like the small list of ski places was an 'oh by the way' last minute addition to the Odds & Ends chapter. But on the other hand, it provides many other options for winter sports, and outdoor recreation for all seasons in general.On most attractions the book offers a load of marvelous facts, sometimes giving clues as to what the expense, season and hours are expected to be like. In addition to some very basic directions and map illustrations along with address, phone number, and/or internet connections. But the book is not always so consistent in providing these helpful details on every place listed. There is a short but beneficial outline of contents at the beginning of each chapter, highlighting the information found under each theme. This makes it easier to find certain attractions but not necessarily certain places or towns.It's great for discovering something new and unique to explore in the Minnesota region and the author's personal touch of suggestions should help make your trip an interesting experience. This book is best used for brainstorming, to find intriguing destinations for a short trip on a weekend. It might also be useful in obtaining information on places around a particular location for a trip already in the planning. [review author: tilley_traveler]
