Red Wing, Minn. in a six-word memoir: Quaint town, smells like broiled chicken.
For our first Garmin adventure, Keegan and I choose a town about an hour away that was pretty simple to get to with interesting scenery. We ventured to Red Wing, Minn. and also made a stop in Prescott, Wis.
According to the city's website, it has been chosen as one of the 2008 Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and highly rated by National Geographic. There are historic houses and shops, a train depot, and it's home to Red Wing Shoe Company, and all situated near the Mississippi River.

We chose to hang out at a two-level Caribou Coffee, then view the trains and walk around the shops for awhile. I've rock climbed there before (Barn Bluff) but will be back for more, as well as to catch the train or some good food in the future.
