Blue Mounds State Park

We got back from a short 30 hr camping trip we took to SW Minnesota -- Blue Mounds State Park to be exact. The weather wasn't ideal, but wasn't all that bad either. We rented a tipi and mostly did a fair bit of hiking around the Sioux Quartzite outcropping and quarry that gives the park its name (apparently the red stone really looks blue from a distance).

S did pretty well on the trip and really enjoyed the opportunity to hone his rock climbing skills.

A few pics of the proof.
