Minnesota Dreamin'

It's summer! A few days into it, actually. We've already had a spell of hot, humid, and generally oppressive weather here in Philadelphia already. That, coupled with the fact that I recently spoke with a friend of my mine from my hometown of Duluth, Minnesota who told me all about her plans for camping in Minnesota this summer, has made me pine for my northern home in recent days.

Too bad it's such a hassle to get to Duluth, and my job isn't the most accommodating in the world in terms of vacation time...

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area (pictured above) is approximately 2 million acres of land at the Minnesota-Canada border and is one of the finest places to go camping that I know of.
