The Rural Midwest: Wisconsin 2

After attending a cousin's bat mitzvah in Minnesota, my family and I drove 

from Minneapolis to Macalester in St. Paul then to Carleton in Northfield--two 

very nice schools (a topic that has consumed my attention for the past 

several months, and will continue to for several more)--and then turned around,

 crossed the Mississippi River, and descended through Wisconsin.

There were more forest preserves and hills in Wisconsin than anywhere else
 in the Midwest, and although the sun began to set as soon as we crossed 
the state border, I was able to snap a few nice pictures of rural scenes and 
birch trees glowing from orange light.
