Well, I'm at another campground. I arrived at Split Rock State Park around 1:00 pm today. This is the best maintained of the four Minnesota state parks that I've stayed. I have a nice campsite about 100 feet from a nice looking lake. My only complaint is that I had to use two layers of leveling blocks to get level. It is a small complaint because I think I could have moved around a little and found a level spot but was fine with the blocks.
I will be seeing the Pipestone National Monument tomorrow. My last day in Minnesota will be Tuesday when I head south to Iowa.
I drove around the area and walked around the campground this afternoon to get the following pictures.
This is the topography of deep south-west Minnesota. The rolling hills were a result of the glaciers from the last ice age |
This the campsite right after I set up |

A Thinking Bench near my campsite |
I heard geese honking overhead and then they flew by heading south for the winter. I'll be following them soon. |
The sky made it look better. A few geese in this one too. |

This is a section in the campground that is undisturbed prairie. This is what the land looked like when the pioneers first got here. |
This is the information on the prairie section of the park. It is also for Roy Nugent since it shows the wildflowers in the area. |
I saw this house on the hill with a nice looking sky so I took a picture. |
Another Thinking Bench near the dam |
This is the dam on the right and the bridge on the left. They were both built by the WPA from the Depression era. |
Ya'll take care of each other. Cya down the road
