My Trip To Nimrod, Minnesota

Park Rapids, Minnesota

6 PM

I enjoyed my time today hanging out at a park here in Park Rapids. But by midafternoon I was ready to do something else — how about a 35 minute drive to Nimrod!

Nimrod was hopping with campers parked all over the place. Lots of beer being consumed and folks setting up tents to sell goods.

I was sorry I missed the beer pong tournament yesterday. I suspect it was well attended.

Nimrod is small but there is Nimrod everywhere.

As opposed to northern Minnesota, there is agriculure in this part of the state.

On my way back to Park Rapids I came across the BlueberryPines golf course. It was so pretty from the road I drove in and discovered I could hit a bucket of range balls for $6. The turf was awesome even though my swing was not. I would have played nine holes but thought I might get frustrated. Rats!

The Straight River isn’t straight.

I was back to Park Rapids by 530 PM. I was tempted to go to the high school football game at 6 PM but didn’t go.

FYI, there are five places in the US named Nimrod.
