Saturday, June 3-Sunday, June 4                                                                                           Bemidji, Minnesota

We stopped at this park on the way to Voyageurs, the last national park on our list (this trip!).  The park is named for both the lake and the town of Bemidji, and is located in the the northern central part of Minnesota.  The lake is almost 7,000 acres. We spent a nice afternoon on the beach in our campground.

It was a little too cool for swimming, but we enjoyed sitting out with a book and a beverage.  In the evening, we went into town and walked around.  We ran into these two characters.

That Paul Bunyan sure got around in his day.  This version looks a bit different than his statue in Bangor.

The moustache adds a certain je ne sais quoi, I think.
