Gone to See America 2006 Driving Tour. Day 3: Lake Itasca, Minnesota.
Mississippi River Headwaters. The only place you can cross the Mississippi River by foot. Itasca State Park. I did this as a kid many, many years ago and ended up with several leeches on my legs. Image taken with a Nikon D200 camera and 18-80 mm kit lens (ISO 100, 18 mm, f/5, 1/800 sec).
