Sept 13 and 14

Sept 13 We are in Bemidji, MN slowly working our way home. Today we are driving to Itasca State Park where the mighty Mississippi river begins its journey to the Gulf of Mexico. The RV park has a RV Caravan checking in on the weekend. The RV Caravan of about 30 RV's is going to follow the Mississippi rivers 2552 mile journey to the Gulf of Mexico. The headwaters of the Mississippi starts out of lake Itasca and is so shallow and narrow everyone removes their shoes and wades across the river on foot. probably 500 tourist per day. (a good place to get athletes foot). (picture)
Sept 14 We spent the day looking around the area and town. We went to dinner at a Casino and had some slot fun. We ordered Fish and Chips and it was a whole 12 inch Walleye deep fried. They didn't serve Fish and Chips for dinner only during lunch but they made an exception for us. We have found the service in the mid west is exceptional. Tomorrow we are heading for North Dakota.
