Driving Through Minnesota!!!

Hello Fellow Wandering Travelers!!!

Today, I left the KOA at Bemidji, Minnesota area and drove into town to see something we all know and love --- Paul Bunyan and his Ox, Babe!!! From what I gather, Bemidji was that town a lot of the Paul Bunyan stories started in 1937. Anyway, he was home and I got his photo ---

He lives on a lake in the city and lets students study on his dock. Here is a photo of the lake and a studious student ---

 

He also has a few statues around. I took a few photo of his art works ---

 

After that I got back onto US-2 and drove west!!! The weather is still nice – bright sunshine, some clouds, was cool, but warmer than yesterday, and no wind!!! Again, this made for a very comfortable drive!!!! I was going to drive into North Dakota, but the RV Park I had chosen didn’t sound that good and when I stopped at an information center in a rest stop, the lady suggested that I stay at the State Recreation Area in Minnesota. So I drove there and it was just on the border between Minnesota and North Dakota! It is very nice and has all the hook-ups. It is called the Sherlock Park Campground.

As I drove along, I noticed how flat the land had become!!! I took a few photos, but I don’t think they tell you the true picture --- you can be the judge!!!

 

Well, that was my day!!! An easy day of mostly driving, but some interesting and fun site seeing!! I even learned a few things, I think!!!

So, with that, I will go for now, but I will see you all again tomorrow.

Again, to quote that great comedian, Red Skelton, "Good Night and May God Bless!"

Happy Trails ---- Jon
