While driving along Route 2 (still) we needed a place to stop since the dogs needed a pit stop. We spotted this fish, huge, its a restaurant called The Big Fish.
To get a better perspective of just how big it was, that's Don (my social butterfly) talking to the man who was painting the restaurant.
We finally got to Itaska State Park, where the head waters to the Mississippi River are. You should enlarge this picture, really interesting. They had a model of the land around the entire length of the river showing all the rivers that feed it along the way. After inquiring, we found out that it takes about 90 days for the water leaving this spot to get to the Gulf Coast.
This is the monument marking the beginning of the Mississippi River.
And Here it is flowing out of Lake Itaska. The front part is the river.
Here's Joyce and I crossing the Mississippi River by foot.
