I am meeting a friend in Albert Lea next month. From there we are taking a road trip vacation. We are looking for a relatively safe place to park a vehicle for 5-7 days. Mainly a place that is close to the Interstate Highways and where our car won't get towed away. I occures to me that the airport might be a good place, though, I am unable to find any airport parking info. Please advise, if this is a feasable option and if there is anything I may need to be made aware of.
