Introduction

My favorite childhood memories are camping out in the woods in Northern Minnesota.  There's still nothing better to me than relaxing out under the trees, and if it's been too long, I start getting that wish-I-were-camping feeling.  The smell of the rain on the breeze, the dry cushion of pine needles on the ground, the sunlight filtered green through maple leaves.  What could be better?

I'm not in Minnesota right now--school and internships and things have taken me rather far from home, I'm afraid.  So this blog is dedicated to the outdoors of Minnesota, especially the State Parks.  I'm a bio major, so it might lean a little in the science direction, but it's basically going to be my thoughts of Minnesota while I'm far from home.

Named in honor of Pinus resinosa, the Red Pine, Minnesota's State tree.

    Minnesota. The frozen tundra of North America. A difficult and unforgiving swath of land, thousands of miles from the nearest coast. Even Louis and Clark avoided its boundaries (well sort of). However, when winter yields its frosty grip, it becomes one of the most beautiful places on earth to be. Minnesota in the summer.
    I’m excited to read about your thoughts and experiences of this beautiful place, from the perspective of a veteran Minnesota State Park visitor, hiker, picnicker and camper. I look forward to hearing about this extraordinary place from an even more extraordinary person.
    Blessings
