(this is being added almost two months after the walk) We had most of a day to kill before finding out if there would be work. So we...

We are between trips today and staying near southern MN so we decided to walk a park we haven't been to in years. For a non-metro park,...

If you prefer a mostly flat trail, this one is and it is paved. It's listed as the old logging trail. We decided to walk down by the St...

A couple of large beaver lodges. No work today, I didn't call them, they didn't call me. About noon we decide to head to a park. We had...

It is best to know where you are going today at this park. Not much for visible trails today. This was the closest state park to where we...

Change of plans. My wife decided she needed a bathroom break and the next closest non-business one was here. We were traveling up US-61...
