Meet Joe & Mary. Joe is Mrs. T's first cousin. When people come here on the Hill to visit, particularly from the Twin Cities, we like to show off this beautiful southeastern corner of Minnesota. It's known as Bluff Country for its gorgeous hills and valley's. When those people are more than relatives but good friends and fun to be with as well, we always have a good time. Here we all are at Historic Forestville State Park.
This summer we visited several other state parks in the area, seeing lots of wildflowers, drove along the Big River and even had a picnic or was it a beer along the way!
Like us, Joe and Mary like new adventures and traveling widely. It's fun to compare notes. Here, we're crossing a bridge in Beaver Creek Valley State Park.
Bluff Country Tours. That's where the action is!
You should go to work for the Department of Tourism! You all look so happy.

Thank you for all your recent posts, T.B.--I have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on your adventures, on your lovely Bluff Country, and on your fantastic bird photos. Especially liked seeing the indigo bunting up close--well done.
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss the Bluffs of my home stomping grounds (LaCrosse Area). They are awesome. The hiking is awesome, and the views awesome. I also miss the mighty Mississippi winding its way through there. Thanks for the memories TB.
ReplyDeleteIt is always wonderful to have friends to share these magnificent outing with and swap stories of adventures.
ReplyDeleteYes, that was a beer stop and not a picnic by the looks of it. Probably one of many. LOL!! Nothing better on a hot day when out hiking. :) At least, this is what I tell myself. :)
How fun that you can play tour guide in your beautiful neck of the woods. :c)
ReplyDeleteA refreshing beverage is always in order during a nature visit! :)
