FIRST
we biked down to St. Anthony Main on the East Bank of the Mississippi River. It was there that i found my first clue.
(go look at the photos. Then come back and read the rest of this.)
OK.
Big Stone Mini Golf is a place of wonder! The first thing you see is the vast island that grows inside the hollow earth, uprooted and set on the ground of our world. On that island everything grows upside down, because it's growing on the inside of the globe of Earth. Then you go into Big Stone and there are goats and ponds and frogs and a nice cat and one of the golf holes is Pachinko. The grounds are several acres wide, and you can wander around them. The owner is an artist in steel and granite, and several of the holes involve eluding his mobiles. You can push them, but watch out, because they will come back and hit you if you push them too hard. It is a magical wonderland. There are 18 holes, and I took scads of photos, but they are lost, STOLEN BY GHOSTS.
MYSTERY SOLVED:
Minnesota requires tribute from its new inhabitants. I'm grateful that Minnesota spoke to me with its kind face, the face of Spring at Big Stone Mini Golf, instead of its winter face of lightning snow and stoicism.
