We have enjoyed four days of Fall in Tim's hometown of Bemidji in northern Minnesota, and are now on our way back home. It is a world away from what we are accustomed to. We have eaten pounds of wild rice - bringing some home with us in fact. It has been over a decade since we have been here, and it felt nice to experience it together again - except for the mosquitos, oh yes. Mosquitos!! They are so terrible! Boating on a lake, looking for loons is a wonderful experience! And we also saw bald eagles. A highlight: walking the Mississippi River headwaters in Itasca State Park, then overnighting at the historic Itasca State Park Douglas Lodge. Beautiful!!
