Hi all! It has been awhile since I've had anything to post about here. As the title of this blog says "Minnesota and Beyond", today my story comes from Minnesota. Not all adventures have to take place far away from where you live!
 |
| Our destination was Gulch Lake Campground in the Paul Bunyan State Forest. |
 |
| This is a state forest campground that is maintained by Lake Bemidji State Park. |
 |
| We saw a couple turtles digging holes for their eggs in a campsite. |
 |
| Time to get the tent set up! |

| Tent caterpillar :p |
 |
| Prior to this photo of roasting hot dogs, we had the alarming realization that we had left our cooler at home 😝 Good thing this was a mini camping trip and we were only 14.5 miles from home 😂 |
 |
| The long awaited supper 😂 |
 |
| After supper we walked down to Lake Nelson and enjoyed the beautiful calm evening. |
 |
| My mom wanted her picture on this rock 😊 |
 |
| Looking over to Lake 21 |

We hiked back to our campsite and relaxed the rest of the evening by the fire enjoying listening to the sounds of the woods (see video below). We knew that some rain was in the forecast for later the next morning, so we monitored that and ended up getting up at 7:30, packing up the tent, and heading home. It was good timing because not too long after we got back it started to thunderstorm!
Even though it was a short outing we had a fun time and it just goes
to show that it doesn't have to be something big and elaborate to
create memories that will last a lifetime.
