Go fuck yourselves
Also Minnesota has some of the best canoeing landscapes on earth!! Never been but it doesn’t seem like words or pictures can convey the intensity of beauty.
I’m a service tech headquartered in the Mississippi river valley and the the beauty of this landscape is just awe inspiring. I was born and raised here so I tend to take it for granted but there are still days where it just takes my breath away. I’ll be driving my van out to some random site in the middle of nowhere and I will cut through a pass in the bluffs where I see the golden hour sunlight shining off the valley below me; it is just indescribable. I’ve been all over the country and the only places in the country that rival the natural beauty of our regular rural areas are actual national parks like yellowstone or the badlands.
The badlands are kind of off-putting imo. They are cool looking, much like the surface of mars, but I don’t think beautiful is the right word for me. They’re too lifeless for that. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still worth seeing. I’m just more of a fan of traditional mountain landscapes.
