We got started a little late from the American Legion camp ground in Warba on our way to Bemidji , we programmed the GPS for ITASCA State Park where the Mississippi starts its long trip to the Gulf of Mexico just south of Bemidji. . We first stopped at the Corp of Engineers Dam project outside of town. I was able to pick up a CD with the locations of all the Corp Camp Grounds thru out the West. Hopefully, we can use some a long the way. Along the way we saw this roadside store advertising wild rice. Dena did not know they grew rice up here but the Indians have been doing it for years. Her curiosty got her so we stopped and got a couple of pounds and some Clover Honey.
We arrived at the State Park Visitor center around lunch time. Spent a couple of hours in the area alog with lots of other tourists. We were able to dip our toes in but it was cold. It is 1475 ft above sea level. Afterwards we continued toward Grand Rapids, ND.
Along the we found the POLK County camp ground near Mentor and stopped for the night.
