I got a grant, compliments of the Legacy Amendment for 2015, to travel and stay and write about a number of Minnesota's state parks. This is the first photo dump of that endeavor, from Big Island.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature; and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
