Including Lake Minnetonka, the watershed for the creek covers 181 square miles. The creek might have been unremarkable except for the 53 foot Minnehaha Falls located near the creek’s confluence with the Mississippi. The site is not far from Fort Snelling, one of the earliest white settlements in the region.</em></p> <p><em>While the name is often translated as “Laughing Water”, the correct Dakota language translation is “curling water” or “waterfall.”</em></p> </blockquote>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50859842058http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50859842058Sun, 19 May 2013 18:01:08 -0500rivercreekoutdoorsnature<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mccdb89Kmr1ry501no1_r2_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>What to take with you into the wild…</p>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50765488335http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50765488335Sat, 18 May 2013 18:01:01 -0500campinggearbackpacking gearknifetentbackpack<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7ebb74e075f266dd7f51eea8f552ea9d/tumblr_mgqizt9mgE1rkb405o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gotta have wood for the fire!</p>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50683416781http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50683416781Fri, 17 May 2013 18:01:02 -0500campfirewoodcamping<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbwx0qNaf71qkxrtro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Would rather have fun, then die of boredom!</p>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50608465361http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50608465361Thu, 16 May 2013 18:01:07 -0500adventureboredomoutdoors<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/070e67fe225c349cb13b25ae4f67d2a3/tumblr_mgvi6wIY911qkdqt6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Time to leave or play dead if he is this close to you!</p>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50530740443http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50530740443Wed, 15 May 2013 18:01:10 -0500bearGrizzly Bearbear safety<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0c431d5766f1f5a235b24eb2cc17b977/tumblr_mh1lgjBTAq1rppyj0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Wouldn’t want to meet this boy in the woods!</p>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50452009056http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50452009056Tue, 14 May 2013 18:00:50 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7tufrWzjr1rcouywo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Start where you are to get where you want to be!</p>http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50374805913http://backcountrycompass.tumblr.com/post/50374805913Mon, 13 May 2013 18:00:54 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb2z9qptdH1r616oeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://adelphe.tumblr.com/post/32780122352/grotto-in-an-ice-berg-photographed-5th-january" target="_blank">adelphe</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Grotto in an ice berg, photographed 5th January 1911 by Herbert George Ponting during the British Antarctic (“Terra Nova”) Expedition (1910-1913).
