Last Saturday, Glenn and I took a day trip from Minneapolis down US Route 61 along the Mississippi River. We had planned on visiting John A.

It’s the time of the year again, temperatures are dropping and everyone is flocking north to see the fall colors. We used last Saturday to head up to Lake Mille Lacs which about an hour and a half drive straight north from Minneapolis. It’s the second largest lake in the state and you can barely […]

Last weekend, we visited our 20th Minnesota State Park! I think that’s pretty impressive given that we’ve only lived here for a year and a half and that Minnesota is covered in three feet of snow most of the time. Our most recent day trip was to Afton State Park, one of the most […]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about my travels but that has mostly been because when I’m not tethered to my kitchen table/work-from-home desk, I’ve been on the road seeing new parts of Minnesota and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Seven weeks of spending 99% of my day in a 1-bedroom apartment with my boyfriend, dog and cat. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been faring really well! We are healthy and our jobs allow […]

In this edition of ” Casey Visits ALL the Minnesota State Parks” we stay very near to home. Fort Snelling State Park is as close to being located within a major metropolitan as a state park can get. It’s about a 15-minute drive from both downtown Minneapolis and St Paul right where the Mississippi and Minnesota […]

Since moving to Minnesota, I’ve been constantly seeking out highly rated parks and forests. Everyone talks about the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” and how we are further north than Toronto and I want to experience all of this glorious nature for myself. I had heard good things from my coworkers about Minneopa State Park and […]

Back with another quick camping recap! This is turning into a camping blog and I’m not that mad about it. I think exploring your own state or city is an important part of travel. Not everyone can afford to travel the world all the time and we have to appreciate the places we are able […]
