SUN MAY 25: Judge C.R. Magney State Park

With our newly-purchased MN state parks sticker, we decided to check out Brule River and the "Devil's Kettle" at Judge C.R. Magney State Park. (Who is C.R. Magney? He is a former mayor of Duluth who worked for years helping to create lots of state parks and preserve the environment in many ways. Worthy of state park-nameage, I think!)

The Upper Falls and Devil's Kettle are a short hike from the parking area, but it was another hike of altitude -- lots, and lots, and lots of steps, up and down both ways, to see the sights. But sights worth seeing, for sure!

After all those stairs, I'm surprised we both didn't drop from fatigue -- but our last planned stop kept us motivated, I think!
