Have I mentioned lately how much I love camping? We packed up the car and headed north for some scamping, it was our first visit to Big Bog State Recreation Area.
It’s right by Upper Red Lake, Red Lake is the largest freshwater lake located entirely within Minnesota.
The air was alive with monarch butterflies.
And something far more sinister. We watched this female Northern Harrier hunting along the shoreline for quite some time.
Fortunately she didn’t see this little guy.
The days were breathtakingly beautiful.
And so were the nights.
Beautiful Photos! I thought Mille Lacs Lake was biggest lake in Minnesota, but your right Red Lake is twice it’s size in acreage. Did not know that 🙂 http://www.minnesotafunfacts.com/minnesota-geography/the-ten-largest-lakes-in-minnesota/
Thanks, Kevin! I was surprised to learn that too! It felt like you were looking out on an ocean!
I especially liked the Pic of the Northern Harrier!
That bird knocked our socks off! Breathtaking! She passed us several times!
I’ve never been camping, but it looks beautiful!
Time to start, Chris! Fall weather makes for especially perfect camping! 🙂
