Steve and Kathleen at Itasca State Park



During Kathleen's visit to Leech Lake in late-June and early-July, we took a day trip out to Lake Itasca State Park, one of the places where we had stayed during our honeymoon 30 years prior.

In this picture Kathleen and I are standing at the headwaters of the Mississippi River. The water this day was deeper, colder and swifter moving than when we've visited in the past.

We had a wonderful day at the beautiful Minnesota State Park, just days before it closed for two weeks due to the government shut down in the state.
