Jay Cooke Redux

I decided I need to start doing a better job of blogging with my photos. So, here it goes:

This was my second time this summer at Jay Cooke State Park, and I do have to stay that it was one of my favorite state parks in MN. The landscape is absolutely amazing. Don't get me wrong, all the parks that I have visited this summer have something wonderful to offer, but in terms of hiking, views, and access, Jay Cooke is my favorite.

Besides taking hikes with my buddy Kyle, I have also been hiking quite a bit with my friend Amy. Both are pretty enthusiastic photographers which makes our jaunts more fun.

This particular trip up to Carlton might be the final trip of my summer. All in all I've been able to 8 state parks in the last 5 months-- a summer tradition I'd like to continue. And well, I've got the bag and shoes, I can't quit now. I need to get a return on my investment.
