We left Yellow River State Forest and followed the Mississippi River up into Minnesota. We headed West through Richard Dorer Memorial Hardwoods State Forest and then up to Rice Lake State Park. After getting here we walked the park which there is not much of and we cannot canoe because they drained the water down.
Monday we drove up to St. Paul and explored around the capital building. We snuck in the St. Paul Cathedral and got pictures, but got caught by the priest when we were leaving. The door was open for workers. Got to see some other churches from the outside. Then we headed back to the park
That evening we hiked back down to the lake to catch the sunset. We brought the binoculars with us this time so we could see the Pelicans and other birds on the lake. It was a beautiful sunset.
Tuesday morning we hiked around the lake and back to campground. We ate blackberries, saw a couple of deer, and saw some more of the park. Then we packed up and headed North.
