The trip up was uneventful, and we made it in good time, arriving at the camp site around 12:30. We're staying at Moose Lake State Park, which is two hours north of the cities.
After having a quick lunch, I got the tent set up and we visited the Agate and Geological Interpretive Center, which was interesting. Then we went down to check out the swimming beach here, which is honestly a little a lackluster.
Then we went to check out the city of Moose Lake, there's a Fire Museum from a tragic fire in 1918, which is housed in an old train station on the former Soo Line. I tried to get to the Soo Line trail, but got stuck in the loose sand with my little car, luckily, a good Samaritan passing by was able to give me a hand getting out.
After the fire museum we had to get back to the site as it was raining and I'd left a few things out. After hanging out in the tent playing Go Fish, we made hot dogs, followed by s'mores. With the damp, and a severe lack of kindling, we had trouble keeping the fire going, but it worked out alright in the end.
We wrapped up the night with showers in the always exciting camp ground public showers.
Interesting side note: if you read and saw a post from last fall, when Melissa and I went to see the fall colors and wound driving north for hours. We stopped at a little café in called Art's Café... It turns out that was in the city of Moose Falls as I discovered driving past it today. Just an interesting happenstance.
