"there's to be seen a glorious 20-mile circle of some 50 lakes scattered among fields and pastures, like sequins fallen on an old paisley shawl."
(Sinclair Lewis)
Sigh. . .we had a wonderful weekend camping for the last time this year. The forecast was for a beautiful (albeit windy weekend) and we decided to get one more weekend away before winterizing the camper. This time our destination was Lake Carlos State Park in central MN where we hiked in a beautiful forest (photo 2 - can't you just hear those leaves crunching beneath our feet) and camped within yards of the lake (photo 3 sunset viewed from our campsite).
We spent all day Saturday cycling lake country. Photo 1 is the view from Inspiration Peak near Urbank. The beautiful red leaves of the maples are gone but a few golden birch leaves remain as well as the deep burgundy, reds and browns of the oak forest. Oh those changing leaves...can't they stay a little longer?. . .Sigh
