We lived in St Paul (1999 - 2006), and never passed up a chance to head north to Duluth, The Arrowhead, Eli, The Iron Range, and the Boundary Waters Area. We made the trip several times in the dead of Winter, and it was purely breathtaking!

We still listen to Prairie Home religiously, every Sat Evening.

If you are ever in our area, drop in for Fresh Green Beans and Cornbread!
