• Geocaching in Cascade River State Park

  When we meandered to the northern tip of Minnesota at the end of September, following the North Shore of Lake Superior (as I shared in this post about Grand Portage State Park and this post about Judge C.R.

• Judge C.R. Magney State Park: More than Devil’s Kettle

  Many of Minnesota’s beautiful state parks become known for one particular feature or trail.  In the case of Judge C.R.

• Tettegouche Lake Overlook Trail

  “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” ~ John Muir This John Muir quote came to mind as my son and I hiked up the old gravel road with one of our black labs trotting happily alongside…
