Mother's Day weekend we had fun. The weather wasn't the greatest but it wasn't horrible either. Saturday of the weekend it sprinkled off and on, without any sun. But we took our son to the headwaters of the Mississippi river as a surprise. He loved it. Here's a few photos from there. I hope to get better ones when we go back, as long as the suns out.....lol Hubby &; DS at the sigh at the headwaters
Our son had stayed overnight with my parents and he didn't have any tennis shoes so he walked all over the park with cowboy boots. His feet hurt by the end of the day.....lol On the rocks at the headwaters
Old Timers Cabin ~ Built in 1934, this cabin was known by the Civilian Conservation Corps as the "Honeymooners Cabin" ~ It's most memorable feature are the four huge white pine logs used to construct the side walls.
Walk up to the Cabin
The Bogwalk heading away from the Cabin
On the bogwalk we found these
They are called Marsh Marigolds
At the head of the bogwalk is this sign
DS & I in front of the Minnesota's Record Red Pine Age 300+ years Circumference ~ 115 inches Total Height ~ 120 feet Crown Spread ~ 36.4 feet
Dh and Ds in front of the Big White Pine Circumference ~ 173 inches Total Height ~ 112 feet Crown Spread ~ 48.75 feet
We hope to go back camping at the State Park, there is much more to photograph there, and learn while there. |
