This was my first real trek through rural Minnesota since Bemidji. The biggest difference, besides the lack of snow, is that there was a ton of traffic on the way north. Apparently we weren’t the only pair of city folks glamping during the weekend.
At least there were plenty of farms to stare at during the heaviest traffic.
I haven’t left the Twin Cities metro area in over a year.
Madre Jansen and I are plotting the next Miami-trip, but Halvers and I will probably take a trip to greater-Minnesota in the next few months.
Here are some pictures from my last trip to Greater Minnesota: Bemidji!
I obviously when camera-happy on last year’s Bemidji trip… here are the rest of the pictures.
Around this time last year Jamie and I took a road trip to Bemidji, in Northern Minnesota. Here are some pictures.
I finally uploaded the rest of the Bemidji trip photos.
Jamie stole my camera and…
And this a video of us on a frozen lake:
As I say in the video, I though driving on a lake was absolutely crazy…so when I saw this on the fail blog last night I felt vindicated.
Me (to Jamie): “SEE? SEE? That could have been us!”
Jamie: “Eh, that only happens at the beginning or end of the season…”
Ermp. Okay.
I finished uploading some videos from last weekend’s Bemidji trip. The rest are on the youtube channel.
Jamie and I spent the weekend in Bemidji.
Bemidji is a resort town in Northern Minnesota where Jamie went to college. Bemidji State University looks like a grotty, oversized high school.
The university is on the shore of lake Bemidji. The lake is frozen over and dotted with fish houses.
Driving on the lake quickly lost its appeal. We were convinced that the ice would crack and we would drown…and it would be our fault for… well, driving on a lake. Who does that?
We sampled downtown Bemidji’s nightlife on Saturday night. The first bar had a pair of snow-mobilers chatting up a 300-pound female bouncer. Frizzy hair and galoshes. Indeed.
