IMO, and I could be wrong, but the drive from Minn/St Paul, other than the Mall of America in Minneapolis, has nothing of interest until you get to the Badlands, Custer STate Park, Crazy HOrse, Mt Rushmore area. Deadwood SD for a day and night, I found to be of interest.
Sinoatrial node is located at the junction of the superior vena cava with the right atrium.
How does the heart beat? An electrical stimulus is generated in a specialized part of the heart muscle called the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node). The sinus node is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium (right upper chamber of the heart). In an adult, the sinus node generates a regular electrical stimulus 60 to 100 times per minute.
