Last Wednesday night I flew out of Richmond as well as headed out the the Midwest!  Flying into Minneapolis, as well as then into Bemidji,MN where my brother picked me up to take me to Park Rapids, MN.  My brother John has lived in “PR” on behalf of quite sometime as well as was able to take some time from a busy schedule to let me come up as well as relax on behalf of a few days.  I had a great time from fishing (11 fish total), “Tubing”, Golfing to meeting his friends.  I did have the possibility to take a little bit of my photography gear with me, it was odd shooting “nature/landscapes” as that is something I usually do not do!

Restaurant on Main Street, sad to say it was closed on behalf of operations..









“Long Lost Lake” actually flooded in 2001, this was a common scene around the lake.


This is the start of the Mississippi River in the Itasca State Park.
