Lee Duquette visited The Spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota -
a museum devoted to Spam
the meat product, not the e-mail.
Can Spam character
This attraction occupies over 16,000 square feet and features interactive displays, an auditorium, gift shop, dining area and activities for older children. It was a surprise that it did not cost anything to tour the museum, nor to park. The museum is in a renovated K-Mart building.

FYI: The two RV Gypsies were still homeless at this time because their only home, their RV, was still in repair in Iowa, and they were still hotel hopping. Karen Duquette did not want to go to the Spam Museum, so she stayed in the hotel watching TV while Lee Duquette went to the museum by himself, even though he begged her to go with him.

Below: SPAM is the undisputed king of mystery meat. Made of pig parts and secret spices, cooked in its own cans right on the assembly line, SPAM rolls out of its far-flung factories at a rate of 44,000 cans an hour.
