         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons

Saturday, August 10, 2013: 

Mark and Paula visited Itasca State Park north of Park Rapids, Minnesota. 

It is the "Headwaters of the Mississippi River."

Paula couldn't help but show she that she was where anyone can cross the mighty river where it all begins at Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota.

 

The Chester Charles tour boat plies the waters of Lake Itasca for tourists.

An eager boy was fishing while the boat went by.

The Forest Inn was a meeting place worth seeing. 

Some 75 years of history there.

Mark was there to checkout the latest technology in personal communications. 

They call it a "telephone."

Mark thought it worked OK as long as he was standing in one spot near a wall in Douglas Lodge.

Mark and Paula enjoyed lunch at the lodge.  Mark chose an Elk Burger while Paula liked the Bison Burger. 

Paula's was the best.

A magazine on the table may be a clue as to where they are headed next.
Quote of the day:  Lake Itasca is an annual stop for us.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
