this beautifully catches the peace of Minnesota
Freeport is the belly of MN. Another 3 miles toward Melrose you went by New Munich and the infamous New Munich Ballroom that was burned down by Arson. This is where I once out ran a posse for those who read my posts.
New Munich into Melrose is where we ditched the posse in a 67 Camaro LT1.

See my threads I posted the story somewhere.
You may have noticed west of Sauk Centre and Alexandria things begin to stretch out. This is really the very beginning of the west.
When you cross the Mississippi going west around Saint Cloud and then another 50 miles west things start turning into the west. Large huge fields. Soon you hit the Dakotas and you are in the west.
