Mille Lacs-Kathio State Park

I visited Mille Lacs-Kathio State Park for the first time, this father's day with my dad and little brother. It was a struggle getting my little brother to go along, but I think that he might have actually enjoyed the forest. I handed my camera over to him while we wandered a trail, and he was able to explore. I certainly enjoyed having him around, and I am sure my dad did as well. I hope that he will learn respect and wonder for the forests and lands that he encounters.

There's also a fire tower at this park, which we climbed. The view of the oak and maple tree tops is beautiful, and the feeling of being in a fire tower was very nostalgic and reminiscent of late last summer. I will have to write down my experience spending the night in a Cloquet tower last summer. I will never forget the feel of the free wind above the treetops, whether it coasts past maple leaves or thin pine needles. The state park is very near to Rum River* State Forest. We walked a trail that led to the riverside, and it is a truly beautiful area. I hope to return. 

*The Rum River should be known instead as the Spirit River. 'Rum' is a European misinterpretation of Dakota.
