Inspiration Peak, Minnesota
One of the many things I love doing when traveling, and even in my spare time is hiking and going on trails. Since I was a kid, on of my favorites was going to a place called Inspiration Peak. Located not far from the Continental Divide, in Clitherall Minnesota, is the 1,750 feet above sea level peak and is the highest point in Ottertail County Minnesota. Inspiration Peak got it’s name due to the author Sinclair Lewis going there to gain “inspiration” for his novels, short stories, and plays. He wrote about the peak saying,“There’s to be seen a glorious 20-mile circle of some 50 lakes scattered among fields and…

Summer adventure plans and 4th of July
Hey y’all, I know it’s tough right now to do any big traveling, BUT is there anything fun you have done so far this summer? Have you just been relaxing? Traveled anywhere? Planning on anything fun? I have just been enjoying time at the lake relaxing, kayaking, swimming, and working on some great posts that will be coming soon. I spent my 4th of July doing a boat parade, a classic car cruise, as well as enjoying the fireworks. The lake my family lives on does a boat parade; the lake community comes together and decorates their boats with USA pride, line up, and cruise around the lake showing off…

Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store
Minnesota’s largest candy store is one “sweet” place you need to put on your places to go list. It was opened in 1978 and is a family owned business. Now what makes this place so neat is a combination of many different things. It is home to candies from all over the world, fun flavors of soda, homemade fudges and pies, jelly, jams, sauces, and all the cool things to see! They have such a cool ceiling in both the silo and the barn, an animatronic band, an old phone booth, and for all my nerds out there a replica Doctor Who T.A.R.D.I.S.! You could spend all day in that…
An adventurous life awaits, it all starts with a simple trip.
