| Minnesota's state flower is the quite showy, Lady's Slipper orchid. Observed along the Paul Bunyan Trail today, this pink and white flower grows in bog area. Bloom is best late June-early July. Perfect timing for us. |

Today's objective... lake dodging!
Headwinds beat down most of the day but the wooded areas provided relief. Our environs have transitioned from wide open feilds to woods of MN. The trees characteristic of today's ride include: pine, spruce, fir, juniper, aspen, oak and paper birch. Flowers include daises, wild iris and fireweed. |
