Itasca State Park

Left today for Park Rapids area for June Northwoods campout. What a beautiful area. Haven't been there for years. Stayed at the campground Camp Itasca which is right across from the North entrance to the state park. Had lunch at Camp Douglas Lodge in the park. Very Pretty. On Thursday had bad weather. That is the day that Wadena was damaged by three tornados. Thank goodness they didn't come where we were as there wasn't really a very good storm shelter at the park. Also toured a log house builder and got to tour the owners 1.5 million dollar log home. Wow.
Had supper at a logging themed restaurant. Very nice time in Park Rapids. Had not been in the area since I was pregnant with my 24 year old daughter.

On Sunday June 20th along with Charlie and Barb (friends from the Northwoods), left for Father Hennepin State Park where are friends the McKenzies were park hosts for the month of June. Stayed there thru the 24. Had a very nice visit with our friends. Lots of food, bonfires, and good conversation.
