This is the second post today. I rode around Wilderness Drive that goes around Itasca State Park. It was late this afternoon and I was trying to beat the predicted rain. It was a nice drive with the temperature at 52 and falling. It was comfortable with blue jeans and just about every place was deserted, so no crowds. There won't be a lot of words in this post except for the captions on the pictures.

| Tallest Red Pine in Minnesota |

| A crazy old man I ran into in the woods |
 |
| I followed this path for about 1/2 mile to see the tallest White Pine. Strange sounds along the way. It isn't the tallest anymore since the top was snapped off in a wind storm not long ago |

| This is a place where Indians trapped and killed giant bison a couple thousand years ago. |

| Same bison place just the other side of the road |

| Bench overlooking Elk Lake. Some people used to think this lake was the beginning of the Mississippi River, but were wrong. |
 |
| I liked the leaning tree over Elk Lake |
