The
Concourse at Garrison, Minnesota. This beautiful rest area was
created in the 1930's with labor by the Civilian Conservation
Corps. It is on the west end of Lake Mille Lacs which is in
east-central Minnesota.

In
Garrison, just on the west side of Highway 169, you will find the
Lingwall Garage. In
business since the 1930's it is still in the family.
Tom and Darrold "Darry" Lingwall keep the place going helping customers
with parts and light auto repair. Click on the photo for a larger view. |

These
guys are real people and as honest as the day is long.
Tom served as a soldier in the U. S. Army in Vietnam during the 1960's.
He returned home to civilian life and the family business. Click on the photo for a larger view. |

This is Minnesota State Highway 18 on the north side of Lake Mille Lacs. The trees, in summer, overhang the road and enhance the beauty. |

From the east side of Lake Mille Lacs. The sun reflects off the water on a July day. Mille Lacs Lake is about 20 miles across. |
