Headwaters of the Mississippi

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT in Bemidji, MN.  It is 30 miles south, here at Lake Itasca, where it then flows north to Bemidji and then south to, eventually, Louisiana.  Surprisingly, there is wifi at the state park here.  We have electrical at our campsite, lots of green grass and trees, and the lake just a hundred yards or so away.  We are here for two nights, but if you e er get a hankering to visit, it is beautiful state park.
