Then it was off to have lunch with Jim and Mary Zastrow at the Chang Garden Chinese restaurant in Wausau, Wisconsin.  Jim is now a retired radio broadcast engineer.  However, he says he failed retirement and has been doing some radio engineering work when there is time.

The dynamic duo of Mark and Paula headed west.  Where were they going?  That looks like the skyline of downtown Minneapolis, but where will they stop?  Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure!

Hint:  It took them 40 minutes more than planned because they were driving through the heart of the Twin Cities during the 5 o'clock rush hour.
