Wild River State Park

We camped at this MN state park this weekend. The weather was beautiful, as you can see from the pictures. 70's, no humidity. We put ourselves to work, gathering wildflower seeds (our job was to gather Penstemon seed pods) so the park can spread the prairie plants to reclaim the areas that are being converted back from farm fields. We also saw an astronomy presentation, got to look through a 10-inch telescope at the binary stars in the handle of the big dipper, and went to a presentation on snakes. It was a very educational 24 hours.

The trees are starting to turn and the park is just beautiful in the fall.
