| Wednesday - September 6 - Itasca State Park It was a magical day from beginning to end. |
 |
| First we moved from the Douglas Lodge to the Bear Paw Campground. After setting up camp we set off for the Headwaters area. |
 |
| There is a full blown bike shop on the way. Doug borrowed a wrench to do some seat adjustment. |
 |
| Wegman's Cabin - the first store and post office. |
 |
| First we had lunch at the Mary Gibbs Visitor Center. Caretaker Woman greeted us as we headed down the trail to the Headwaters. |
 |
| The most photographed stump in the country. |
 |
| Everyone should walk across the Headwaters of the Mississippi River. |
 |
| It was a great place to do some people watching. |
 |
| This log is just a little downstream so we could just keep going in circles. |
 |
| It was such a beautiful afternoon and such a beautiful spot that is was hard to leave but we finally did. |
 |
| Back at the Visitor Center we took some time to check out the interpretive panels. This one is about the history of forestry in Minnesota with a "historical" forester standing next to it. |
 |
| The magic continued as the sun headed towards the horizon. |
 |
| It was so quiet that we could hear fish splashing and birds moving through the water. |
 |
| Itasca, thank you for a wonderful day!! |
