Fall Colors on MN-47 - Part 2

On the way back south I stopped in Champlin again, but this time at Doris A. Kemp Park.

Here's a shot by the fishing pier.

I then took a few pics looking back up towards the sun. The second one turned out really blurry (it wasn't intentional and is not edited) but I like it that way.

I took a few more photos from different spots around the park.

About

Gophers and Cheese is a motorcycle blog focused on riding and events in Minnesota and Wisconsin near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. With very rare exception (such as event flyers), all of the photos and written content are completely unique and original to this site.

I bought my first motorcycle (my Sportster) in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. I started the blog in 2010 because (1) I found it really difficult to find out what events were going on locally and (2) I just really like to take photos.

The blog's name "Gophers and Cheese" simply refers to Minnesota (The Gopher State) and Wisconsin (America's Dairyland), which is where I do the vast majority of my riding. I admit that it's a strange name for a motorcycle blog, but it keeps me (and everyone else) from taking it too seriously.
