Walking Across the Mississippi River
The scenery in Minnesota's Itasca State Park is amazing. Even though it's June, the air temp was chilly up here in northern Minnesota. That didn't keep the crowds (including us) from coming to visit this famous state park, though.
There are 150 lakes inside its borders, not to mention the headwaters of the Mississippi River.
That's right. In case you forgot, or just never knew, the Mighty Mississippi starts in Minnesota and that me walking across it's very very beginning!

been there - done that :)
I do believe I have that exact picture in my photo library...except, wait, it's me standing on those two rocks! :) We chose the exact same time of year to go. Thanks for the memory!
Zebulon Pike took a trip to the headwaters of the Mississippi before he went west, got lost and discovered the peak that bears his hame. He sample a lot of delicacies among the Indians, but his favorite was beaver tail.
