We spent a week in the Itasca State Park area this summer with the Lenzen family. It was a much shorter drive compared to last year. We had all kinds of weather from heat indexes well over 90 to seeing our breath and rain. It made for a fun variety of activities including hiking, biking, fishing, outdoor Sunday Mass, shuffleboard, swimming, watching movies and hanging out in the campers, geocaching, Viking’s pre-season football, outdoor cooking, shopping, go carts, laser tag, and of course walking across the headwaters of the Mississippi River. I would recommend this trip to anyone as there is something to do for all.
