...and it's cold! The days have been sunny and often warm, but we've been surprised by how chilly the evenings are. Tim and I keep commenting to each other after we come inside, "What have we done?" You can feel that winter is coming. Northeastern Minnesota already had a light snowfall, and we almost had frost last night!
One nice thing is Minnesota is very pretty in the fall. Yesterday we visited the nearby dam and locks on the Mississippi.
We thought it was funny that they operated the locks to let some canoers through!
Then we went to the Minnehaha Falls area. The Falls was a tiny trickle, but I bet I can get an impressive photo after we have some rain. It hasn't rained for a long, long time. I actually miss it!!!
There's Tim among the fall foliage along Minnehaha Creek. Great name, great park and trail -- it felt like we were out of the city. Now that I'm feeling better, we can resume our explorations of our new environs. Next weekend it's Duluth!
Another fun little day trip for a hike is to go to Interstate State Park at Taylor's Falls. There are some nice trails there along the St. Croix. Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis and Lebanon Hills also offer some nice walks through the woods.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Duluth. There are plenty of fun things to see and do up there.
