Illinois is great because it has lots of cows and roads and motels with
signs that say COLOR TV and each letter in COLOR TV is a different
color.

That's about it.

Minnesota

northern MN is real beautiful. I love having over 400 lakes with in 25

mobiling, & ice skating. Winter can be tough though with temps -40 0r
-50 below zero, blizzards, and lots of snow.

California is horrible.

But Sandy Eggo is awesome. In fact, everything south of Huntington
