DAY 7 - SEPT 8 - THURSDAY      We left our campground at Waterloo, IA and drove up Route 218 to Route 18 and then north on I-35, crossing the state line into Minnesota, the first new state of the trip.     We found our way into the state capital of St. Paul located on the Mississippi River. It took a little doing, but we found the St Paul fireboat and got some pictures. Then we got a few pictures at the capital building.  After a stop at a classic looking old fire house in St Paul, we made our way into the impressive Minneapolis downtown to see Target Field, home of the Twins.     Our campground for Night 7 was located just west of Minneapolis in Medina, MN.

This one took a little searching for - St Paul Fireboat

When we can, we try to do the camper photo with the capital buildings.
St Paul, MN

Loved this classic old St Paul fire station.

As the story goes, this staircase was installed to discourage the
horses from climbing upstairs as they apparently would have done
in the fire stations with a straight staircase. Makes sense.
