Hidden Bluffs campground in Minnesota

A picture of my wildflower bouquet. I picked these up along one of the trails in the park.
We crossed the mighty Mississippi and went into La Crosse, Wisconsin one day. The whole city is built on the Mississippi delta. In 1904 it was nothing and as you can see from the collage below it is a city of about 55,000 now. It is home to a technical college,Uof Wisconsin La Crosse and University of Viterbo which has a great nursing program in conjunction with Mayo Clinic.

We found a good many beautiful Victorian homes in the area and the gardens around this house were beautiful.


Several large and beautiful city parks around the city.

The campus of this university was beautiful.

These are just some scenes taken from the trails right here at the campground. For the most part the trails were grass nicely mowed. Makes for easy hiking.
We have really been able to just sit back and relax here. Did a lot of walking the trails, good eating at a couple of places in town, and meeting some new folks. It is a very well kept park and quite an enjoyable spot to just chill.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Teaching kids to count is fine,
but teaching them what counts is best.
