Road Trip PA to MN

[Griggs2121]

My buddy is moving here to MN from PA and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for cool herp stops along the way. This is our projected path.

80/90 is a boring *** drive. thats all i have to say.

its like farmland, farmland, farmland, farmland, city.

o yes, make sure you stop at a rest stop before you get past Toledo (or if you pass it hit the next one) cuz after that, they suck and are completely disgusting. although Indianas arent bad, but the ones in ohio, other than the last 2, are quite nice.

It's not a herp stop, but somewhere out side of Baldwin, WI. (about 45min E of Minneapolis/St. Paul) are the Crystal Caves. It's been like 30 years since I've been there (I lived in Baldwin as a kid) but I think there are signs right on the highway. Pretty cool.

That sounds interesting

C'mon folks I know you've got some more ideas. I fly out Thursday, so let hear em!

Maybe if someone knows a cool Reptile store in Cleveland, or Chicago?

Yea, I was already thinkin about stoppin there on the way back. I figure theres gotta be a cool place in Chicago.

And I will tell him thanks.

PS - What LFS do you manage?

I'm the night shift manager at Fish and Pets in Rochester. We only carry a few amphibians, leopard geckos, and other docile lizards...no snakes To be honest with you, it probably wouldn't even be worth the time.
