Sauk Centre Mini-Trip

My wife and I have gone to Sauk Centre for a quick fishing trip last year and the year before that. So when we decided to go this year, not much changed as far as where we went or what we did. The Bear Trap has a new addition (first photo)! We found a better motel, in that it was cheaper and there was no noisy bar below. We stayed at The Gopher Prairie Motel this year. Aside from fishing at the pier and the dam, we also shopped and explored. I've included a few photos below, including one inside the Palmer House and one of the writing desk of Sauk Centre's own, Sinclair Lewis. At the time Lewis penned his novel Main Street, the townspeople weren't too happy about how they were portrayed. Now, however, he is celebrated in his home town.

In the last photo, Cutris tells others that "this is an interpretive center, where you can interpret things."
