Saturday, September 19,
2020: Walking trails in Crow Wing State Park is a good way
to get exercise. Fall leaves make the experience even better. |
There is a lot of history here. Ox carts crossed the Mississippi River at this point more than 150 years ago, sometimes under the watchful eye of Native Americans. |
Paula loves the water. Her father was a sailor in
the U.S. Navy during WWII. |
This is where the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers converge,
heading for the Gulf of Mexico. |
There she goes again, hugging trees! They grow big in this
park. |
This state park is also the site of where the city of Crow Wing
was back in the 1860s. Now there are just memories of a town that had people and commerce long ago. |
