Itasca State Park 8/1/2006My Family and I traveled home to Minnesota this summer, and we hit up a few of the spots where we used to camp when I was young. This trip was recorded at Itasca State Park. This is where the Headwaters of the Mississippi are. I had a great time on this trip. If you go, you can be as extreme, or as chill as you want. I did a little hiking, a little biking, and had a lot of fun. |
