I posted this yesterday on Facebook but don't want to neglect my blogging friends!
National Get Outdoors Day is Today!! Admission is free at all 75 Minnesota State Parks and recreation areas. Instead of doing Friday Field Trip yesterday we postponed it until today. We are not strong enough anymore to lift our canoe (darn. . .no, damn it!) so we will picnic instead at Fort Snelling State Park. Go anywhere, folks! Support your parks and trails. Minnesotans: support our Department of Natural Resources. Go camping and canoeing. Hug a tree!!
Info on Fort Snelling State Park: Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, this park offers extensive hiking, bike and ski trails that link to Minnehaha Park and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Canoe on Gun Club Lake, play golf, swim in Snelling Lake, or hike on Pike Island where the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers converge. Interpretive exhibits and films on display in the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center give visitors a good background on the history and resources of the park and area. Trails also allow visitors to hike up to the historic Fort Snelling for a view of military life in the 1820s. This is a day-use only park; no camping is available.
Photo is Split Rock Lighthouse on the shore of beautiful
Lake Superior.
Awesome shot and awesome scenery.
ReplyDeleteYou are making me nostalgic. There's so much I love about Minnesota. Fort Snelling is one thing and the North Shore is another. Super lighthouse shot!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot! I love lighthouses and that one is in a beautiful location.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. And I have been outdoors a lot today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I hope you have a great picnic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful shot, Kate!
ReplyDeleteI love that lighthouse shot!
ReplyDeleteI don't need a national proclamation to get outdoors. I do it pretty much as often as the weather permits.
Lighthouses make great phot ops and you certainly captured it beautifully. I will be a day late enjoying being outside. We are going to get our garden plot ready to plant this afternoon. I know what you mean about lifting. I helped lift something heavy and ended up at the clinic last week with a torn muscle.
