Aug 10--Lake Itasca, MN

Met another truck camper at Teddy Roosevelt, a fellow from Arkansas. He recommended Lake Itasca in Minnesota. So, since we're headed that way, we stopped. Lake Itasca is the headwaters of the Mississippi River.This is the starting point for the great river.
It's just a little creek here, and you can walk across on the stones! Imagine--just wade right in.
Mosquitoes were bad, though. The fellow from Arkansas told us he found out what they feed them up here--visitors!
