Here is where I really LIVED every summer weekend from the age of about 10 until I left for the convent at age 17. The woods and the lake provided me with the emotional sustenance I needed. This place was heaven to me. It's changed a lot, but the channel that flowed from Lake Sallie (top) to Lake Melissa (bottom) is still there. And you can still see the Detroit Lakes Country Club's golf course on the far right. Michael and I used to get up really early and go play 9 holes before the course opened. We'd come home with our jeans soaked almost to the hips with the heavy dew.

Awesome stuff!!!!!
We shud go there some day.
Ahem....the previous comment (ostensibly from XE) is from somebody ELSE, who can't figure out how to leave a comment but has determined to tell me that "we" should go there some day and is using my blog address to do it. She's talking to me, not to Kay.
This kind of thing happens when you get old and have OLD friends. Hmph.
LOL Don't ya think we should go there some day? All the damn changes with Blogger has all of us mildly bewildered.
MILDLY bewildered? Speak for yourself.
Actually, it'd be fun to revisit that place with someone with your keen sense of humor. But the only way you can get there is by CAR. I no longer drive, and I'm still pissed about that. It was my decision, and I made it just a few months before it became possible to rent a Smart car here. Crapola!
Oh hell! I atill drive -- albeit slowly -- my Mario Andretti days are gone.
