So much of this video is not from Minnesota. You could not give me for free a place on Mille Lacs due to how screwed up the fishing regulations are. The only place you will see Axis deer 5:42 will be a zoo. All those popular places you mention are zoo's in the summer and for the most part the cabins are built on top of one another.. Cougars are very rare in Minnesota unless you go to some of the bars in the Twin Cities suburbs. My wife and I love our cabin- retirement home on a quiet 350 acre lake with not much development on it that's a little under 3 hours from the north metro in northern MN.

It is true that Minneapolis has a incredible wealth of natural beauty and most of it has been preserved in the system of parks. It is not true, however, that they are well maintained. When I was a child back in the 1950s, park maintenance was a high priority. That is no longer true. I grew up half a block from the park surrounding Lake Nokomis. It was faithfully mowed every week and we played ball there all the time. Nobody plays ball there today. Today the priority is on building new facilities with the ensuing opportunity for photo-ops for politicians. Maintenance of the parks takes as back seat. Challenge: Go to Loring Park in downtown Minneapolis and try to find a blade of grass. Bring knee pads. I'm not saying you won't find any grass at all, but it's mostly weeds like Creeping Charlie. It is not just Minneapolis that has an abundance of parks; it's true of the whole metropolitan area. But as you explore our parks, watch out for the goose poop. We have an uncontrolled overpopulation of Canada Geese. They are beautiful birds, but they are also pests. They are aggressive and they poop everywhere. They congregate near water, so if a park is near water, and with so many lakes and so many parks, a lot of them are adjacent to each other, it can be difficult to avoid the goose poop while walking in a park. I live on a lake with a park on the north end. I would not want my grandson playing there. Our seasons are phenomenal, and we make the most of all of them. We are a people who love the outdoors. Do not let the cold winters scare you away. The coldest of the cold is intermittent and generally confined to a period of six weeks or less. If you are coming from the South, you may think that a temperature in the twenties sounds cold. You will soon learn that it is actually very pleasant. My niece came here from Texas for college. She was apprehensive about the cold. We told her that she would come to see that in March temperatures in the upper thirties and forties are short sleeve weather. She didn't believe us at first, but came to see that we were right. Every season has its unique charm, and we love them all. Winter: It is amazing how beautiful the world is in black and white. Even the tiniest twig has a delicate strip of white snow on it Spring: Color bursts out everywhere. Lilacs are in the air. Summer: So many lakes and so much fun in and near the water. Water skiing was invented here. Fall: The colors are wonderful. The sumac is spectacular.

Stephanie, I feel you are describing Minneapolis as it was pre-BLM riots. I used to feel safe going just about anywhere in the areas you have described, even at night. But now I won’t go to a downtown restaurant at night unless there is a major entertainment event taking place and there are large crowds present. Minneapolis is struggling to recruit and maintain an adequate police presence. So many of my suburban friends have stated the same thing. Now there are certain neighborhoods that I completely avoid driving through even in the daytime. Sadly many great restaurants have closed in the uptown area and downtown area due to losing a large portion of their regular customer base due to safety concerns.
