Oct 3 2009: First Snow of the Year

We stayed (me, my wife, and our toddler) at what was accidentally the first snow of the year! Oops! Thankfully, the wood purchased from the park was the best wood I have ever purchased from a park, in terms of speediness of lighting - by the time my wife and toddler got back from the walk to the bathroom at the crack of dawn through the light dusting of snow, I already had a roaring fire going!

We camped near to the parking area since we were with our toddler, though we might as well could have been further away, with all the hiking we did in the morning! It's nice that they provided carts to carry your gear from the car to the campsite. We hit up many trails, viewing the beautiful yellow autumn foliage through the melting/newly melted snow. And of course had a great time with the geocahing...the Official MN State Park Geocache series are always great, and this was no exception, especially as a family activity: a hike in the woods, with a hidden treasure to find along the way!!

We had a really great time at this really beautiful park!
