    Sorry that you missed Lake Itasca. I was there early one rainy morning, no one else around. Having crossed the river in so many places from New Orleans to Little Falls, MN, it was really awesome to stand there and watch the babbling brook flow north out of the lake. Don't know if you ever drove along the river between northern IL and MN, but it's one of the prettiest drives in the country with steep bluffs along both sides. I hope to travel it again soon.

    Lived in St Paul all my life but have been to the Capital maybe once when I was in grade school. Yes it is beautiful. I've passed it and the Cathedral many times on my bike rides out to Stillwater. Minnesota has some of the best bike trails in the country. Lake Itaska headwaters had a nice one going all around the lake with a stop at an old fire tower. Camp Ground is nice too. Good times!

    Watching this in July 2021 while on lockdown in Vietnam. It was a totally brilliant video in every aspect. As an Aussie I have been to the US many times, but your vids are really giving me much fuller insight. I was so surprised to see how beautiful this region was. It must be very different and cold in the winter. You thank me for watching. Let me thank you, Sir, for your really excellent video.

    You missed another huge event on Labor Day weekend when you drove around Mount Pleasant, Iowa. It is called the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion and is a huge steam event. It has a steam railroad that operates during the event along with about 100 steam tractors doing working exhibits over 1000 antique gasoline tractors, 100's of hit and miss engines, horses and horse exhibits, antique cars and lots of other old antiques and events. Even has a concert every night who they get a variety of country talent.

You should also visit the North Shore of Lake Superior, lots of great camping spots and beautiful scenery.

    My Hubby and I have been watching and enjoying your videos for a long time. When I saw Hurricane Dorian off the south coast of Florida in the forecast last year I thought of you. Lo and behold it changed it's mind and came up the coast making landfall in Nova Scotia where I live - less powerful by then but still a scary night. ( I just googled it - 160 km per hour winds)

    Our travel style is eerily similar to yours(sans rv) as we have many of the same interests. It's delightful revisit places we've been, through your lens.
    I, being born in Minneapolis and raised north of the twin cities, was so excited to watch your video on Minneapolis and St. Paul. THANK YOU!
    I loved it. It made me proud to be a Minnesota native and I look forward to seeing your visit to the North Star State when you're able to get back "up north."

    Stillwater is a pretty historic town on the Minnesota Wisconsin border. Elowise and Ray and Marges resort are very nice campgrounds on the south side of sturgeon lake if you want a nice couple day resting place before heading through Duluth. When I was a kid my family owned property on that lake and it's a nice Sandy bottom lake for swiming. Sturgeon lake island has a very cool old wooden bridge to cross it get to it.
