Itasca State Park is in Minnesota. It is where the Mississippi river starts. Judy and I have visited the park several times and have always enjoyed it. One thing we always dreamed of doing was riding our bikes through the park. Well, we did it.
What a great visit. We had good cool weather. Our site overlooked Lake Itasca. The bike trail was just feet from our site. We rode our bikes through the park to visit the ruins of the general store, a logging exhibit, and the pioneer cemetery. At the end of the trail was the Mississippi Headwaters. You can literally walk across the river. It was very cool. Later that day, we drove the rest of the park and climbed up an observation tower.

We are having fun so far. But, our posts are a little behind. It is actually somewhat hard to get internet access from state and national parks. But, we hope to soon post about Mount Rushmore, Wind Cave National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Hope your summer is going well.
