My apologies to those of you who noticed that I haven�t updated this in a few days�to those of you who didn�t notice � SHAME ON YOU! :-P Justin and I spent most of Saturday hiking around in Gooseberry Falls State Park. We had an amazing time once we actually GOT to the park. Here, let me explain�it was soooooo busy there that we couldn�t park in the regular free lot. Apparently lots of people had it in their heads that 1pm on a Saturday was a good time to check out the fall colors and some other people thought it was a nice place to have a wedding. Both were probably right, but it meant that we had to drive about a � mile to an alternate PAY lot and then walk to the park. This was the worst part of the trip � well that and the large blister I later developed on my right pinky toe. Our first stop was the upper falls followed by several hours of trails near the river and in wooded areas that felt as though we were in the middle of nowhere. After that we checked out the middle and lower falls which used to be my favorite spot. It was really crowded in this area so it wasn�t as enjoyable as it normally is for me and, thanks to Justin, I now have a new favorite river spot :-) The end of the day was spent hiking back to the car and grocery shopping at the Super One in Two Harbors. Why do we shop there you ask? Why not? It was a good thing we did get food there because I was starving. I nearly died from malnutrition so I'm glad I was able to eat Golden Grahams on the way home � that cereal saved my life�
