I am Manitou and so are you
Manitou, referring to spirit beings in Algonquian groups of Native Americans, is also the name of a river along Minnesota’s north shore. The Manitou River runs through George Crosby Manitou State Park where I decided to camp alone Saturday night.


Crosby Manitou is one of my favorite sections of the SHT! I’ve spent many weekends over the last 10 years or so. #5 on the ridge is probably one of the best and snowshoeing to the cascades is an easy spectacular hike.
That’s a magical part of the world!
This is the first raw, natural, and uncensored post I’ve read on PDD in years. It took balls to post it.
You’re keeping it real, and I appreciate it.
