For all the pictures of the great american camping adventure click here. Otherwise, scroll down for some highlights/let downs and a few select pics.
The Highlights:
- Itasca State Park (standing on the headwaters of the Mississippi, and climbing the Fire Tower)
- Discovering Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Smores
- Running along the Paul Bunyan Expressway (is that the name?)
- Enjoying nature and all that crap
- Camping with an air matress to sleep on
- Ending the trip with Taco Johns ... Oh Yeah!!
The Let Downs:
- The Lost Forty (40 acres of mosquitos, not trees ... skip it)
- Chiggers (Swimmer's Itch warnings for Lake Bemidji. Didn't go swimming!)
- Forgetting the air matress to sleep on the first night. Ouch!

Sorry the Lost Forty was such a bummer for you. I agree the bugs were BAD, but a longer hike would have been nice. According to the web site we missed a lot of other HUGE trees. Maybe it would be better in the fall.
Oh don't worry about it. Not your fault at all. Had the mosquitos not been that bad, it would have been cool, no doubt.
I just remember Mike walking in front of me, him stopping, and 40 mosquitos landing on his back. Yikes!!
Overall, despite that it was a GREAT trip!!
