If you are a long time follower, you know I already know my love of all things Nevis, MN. Every time I’m in the area, I make it a point to stop at Chop-n-Pop’s Bakery, the Little Dorset Shop, and Zorbaz. Now, I have another place to add to the list. Enter, Two Loon Candy, […]
I have to be honest, The Paul Bunyan State Forest is one of my all-time favorite places in Minnesota. Let me tell you why. This area, outside Park Rapids, is near and dear to me for several reasons but most notably because it is where I, a self-professed Paul Bunyan expert, believe the idea for […]

Because the town is so small (fewer than 400 people), I thought I would make it a one-stop shop on the #mnbucketlist. Plus I’m SUPER bias over this one… This is Nevis, MN. It’s in Hubbard County, near Park Rapids and is part of northern Minnesota’s Heartland Trail. It’s definitely a ‘cabin upnorth’ kind of […]
West Crooked Lake just outside of Downtown Nevis is in Hubbard County and just so happens to be one of my favorite places on Earth.
