Sunday June 1, 2008 Lake City, Minnesota
Breaking camp and crossing the mighty Mississippi River was our goal for today. We made our crossing at La Crosse, WI and immediately found a nice rest stop/welcome center on the Minnesota side. We have been planning to make this trip to visit relatives in the Big Lake/St Cloud area for a number of years, so we were excited to collect reading material to enhance the visit and understanding of the state.
The welcome center sat on the western bluff of the River and had an awesome view of what immediately reminded us of the Columbia Gorge…ancient rock formations carved by the force of the rolling water. We stopped and spent the night in Lake City, MN so that we would be fresh in the morning to drive through the bustle of Minneapolis and on north to Big Lake.
