Bunyan. Babe the Blue Ox. Itasca State Park. My first float-plane ride.
Fishing. Some of the best memories of my life are the result of
experiences that were surrounded by these phrases and many others as my
family headed north for our annual summer vacation. There were both
relatives and resorts in the north woods and my mom and dad took my sister
and me there for what have become memories of a lifetime.

About Bemidji, MN (cont.)
 Our final destination was a little town called Bagley just west of
Bemidji Minnesota but we always stopped first in Bemidji. And this was
where I got my first look at Paul and Babe, and where I experienced the
thrill of actually stepping across the Mississippi River at Itasca State
Park (where the Mississippi actually begins), and where so many other
marvelous memories were born. I cannot speak highly enough of that area,
and when I take the time to allow myself to go back there in my mind I
have a difficult time holding back the tears.
I have not been back to Bemidji for probably twenty years, and I expect
that the town - not unlike many others, has grown considerably. But it is
a place that I dearly love and a place that I am sure is still a great
place to vacation with your family. So go there. Enjoy
and build some
marvelous memories of your own.
