For this weeks WT we are showing landmarks of where we live. I went with our lakes as we are the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" as it says on our MN license plates. We actually have more than that. I think Wisconsin has more than we do ....so I don't want to dis WI. I grew up 3 mi from the border and I love their state, too. I'm vacationing there in a few weeks.
As a funny aside, Susie Australia once told me she was watching tv and a show came on and it was all about Minnesota's lakes! She had to call her husband in to watch and she said, "this is where one of my friends lives". LOL
Another interesting fact about one of our lakes...as a kid I went to camp in No Minnesota and the lake we were on is Cass Lake. For one of our overnights we went to an island on the lake, Star Island, and that Island has a lake (called Windigo) that is a lake within a lake. Apparently it's the only one of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Pretty cool, huh?
This is also for Kelly's DTGD to make a summer tag...I'll probably use this as a bookmark...perhaps when I'm at the cabin in WI.

That is a very cool fact about the island with a lake. I know you are very partial to your lakeside getaways, I'm glad you have one coming up soon. What a wonderful restful, relaxing scene you have created for us to enjoy.
