When we started planning our route to Alaska, I wanted to see more than we usually do. We have been those Point A to Point B people in the past. Blasting past cool museums,fun festivals and roadside attractions. But not anymore. This time we took the Great River Road. We intercepted the Road in St. Louis and followed it all the way to the headwaters of the Mississippi in Itasca State Park in Park Rapids, MN.
Tom remarked that you don't think about where the rivers start. True. And to see the humble beginnings is a cool experience. We could span the river with just 4 people. Wow. And the lake was so beautiful. A great day.
No one walked across the rocks, except Craig of course. He loves to jump around and tempt fate. It is kind of his strength.
Now we start across the Great Plains. Wagons, HO!
