Minnesota: Minneapolis
Minneapolis and Saint Paul anchor the second-largest economic center in the Midwest, after Chicago.
Minneapolis lies on both banks of the Mississippi River, just north of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Saint Paul, the state's capital. The city is abundantly rich in water, with thirteen lakes, wetlands, the Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. It was once the world's flour milling capital and a hub for timber.
The city and surrounding region is the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle, with Minneapolis proper containing America's fifth-highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies.
The city served as the launching pad for several of the 20th century's most influential musicians, including Bob Dylan and Prince.
The Minneapolis Institute of Art, designed by McKim, Mead & White in 1915 in south central Minneapolis, is the largest art museum in the city, with 100,000 pieces in its permanent collection.
Site of the 53-foot (16 m) Minnehaha Falls, Minnehaha Park is one of the city's oldest and most popular parks, receiving over 500,000 visitors each year.
The Como Park Zoo and Marjorie McNeely Conservatory include a zoo, a conservatory, an amusement park, a carousel, Lake Como, a golf course, a pool and more. It's a free park and while no admission fee is charged for the zoo or conservatory, voluntary donations of $3 per adult and $2 child are suggested.
Ford Dam, officially known as Lock and Dam No. 1 is on the Upper Mississippi River and is located between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota just north of the confluence of the Mississippi with the Minnesota River at Mississippi River mile 847.9, in Minneapolis.
The Minnesota State Capitol houses the Minnesota Senate, Minnesota House of Representatives, the office of the Attorney General and the office of the Governor. The building also includes a chamber for the Minnesota Supreme Court, although court activities usually take place in the neighboring Minnesota Judicial Center. On the day we went there, the Capitol was under construction and was not open to the public.
The Cathedral of Saint Paul is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of St. Paul, Minnesota.
One of the most distinctive cathedrals in the United States, it sits on Cathedral Hill overlooking downtown St. Paul and features a distinctive copper-clad dome. It is the third largest completed church in the United States, and the fourth tallest. It is dedicated to Paul the Apostle, who is also the namesake of the City of St. Paul.
On March 25, 2009, it was designated as the National Shrine of the Apostle Paul by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Vatican.

Biking around Lake of the Isles, Minneapolis
Took this video while riding my bicycle around Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis, June 2010. Note: Free parking, easy traffic, separate biking and walk/jog trails, green scenery, birds singing. The stone landmark early in the video is Peavey Fountain, the first public art in Minneapolis. It is functional art, too. The ring around the monument is a horse watering trough. Meant to go all the way around the lake, but the battery ran out on the camera. I missed some nice features, like bridges and connections to other lakes. Teenagers were hanging out on the bridge to Kenilworth Lagoon, daring to jump, just like the old days.

Lake Water Monitoring in the Twin Cities Metro Area
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) monitors lakes to provide a comprehensive database that allows cities, counties and watershed management organizations to better manage these lakes.
The Citizen-Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) is an MCES managed program where citizen volunteers monitor the water quality of Twin Cities area lakes. A total of 189 CAMP lakes were monitored in 2009. On a bi-weekly basis (April-October), each volunteer collects a surface water sample for laboratory analysis. They also obtain temperature, transparency measurements, and provide some user perception information about the lake's physical and recreational condition. The main purpose of CAMP is to provide lake and watershed managers with water quality information that will not only help them properly manage water resources, but will also help document water quality status and trends.

Airstream Travel Day To Minnesota along the Beautiful Mississippi River
On this Airstream Life vLog, we head to Minnesota for the first time in the Airstream and we take you along for the ride. Why? Because we decided to take the more scenic route along the Mississippi River on our way north of St. Paul. The water was gorgeous! We even stopped at a super convenient rest stop with beautiful views. We love it when we can have a travel day where we get to see the area while driving!
We settle in at the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Campground north of St. Paul. This is a very nice county park campground with lots of room between the sites and a couple of loops with 50amp and water. That's' why we are here. We were supposed to be camping at a state park in Wisconsin without power but with the mid to high 80s and lots of humidity in the forecast for this week we changed plans. That's why it is always good to stay flexible and have backup plans!
Speaking of staying flexible, we were going to take you with us to a brewery and a miniature train museum in this video but we had to change plans. Why? Our temperature sensor in our Airstream turned off on the hottest day of the week. So we had to go back and check on the dogs. Luckily it was just our internet randomly shutting itself down but you never know. We will get to the train museum and take you along another time.
In the next video, we take you to the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. Wow! So much fun even with all the people. The food and drink were amazing! So stay tuned for that.
