The Pokegama Dam

2016 Out West, Minnesota, Road Trip


Once we decided to make a stop in Grand Rapids, we needed to find a campground. The Allstays app revealed a COE campground nearby and with a couple of phone calls we managed to reserve the last available site for just one night. With a classic car show coming up the campground is sold out for the weekend. We would have loved to stay longer, the place is delightful.

The Army Corps of Engineers first constructed this Mississippi Headwaters dam in 1884. We enjoyed walking across the dam and watching the water rushing through the open gates.

And there was a gorgeous sunset that invited us to take one more walk this evening!

A half-day bus tour from London to Stonehenge gave us enough of an opportunity to gaze in awe at this ancient sacred monument, learn a little more about its history and construction and make us want to return for perhaps a more intimate experience.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
