31-Aug-2021 / Lost 40 (Be sure and watch the video on this link)
One of the Rangers suggested that we should visit National Forest Lost 40. This land that contains "old-growth" red and white pine trees that date back as far as 350 years	An 1882 surveying mistake led the 40 acres to be accidentally mapped as a body of water, and subsequently left alone during Minnesota's logging craze.

The dirt/gravel road entering the Lost 40 area.	Several hiking trails were shown on the map. We chose the longer one at 1mi.



Peaches is standing beside the roots, of a fallen tree, but the top could be seen.	Trees that have fallen are only cut and moved to keep the trail open.

31-Aug-2021 / Driving back we crossed the Mississippi on RT-2 about 123mi from the starting point.
