Lastly on the list that made it was my personal favorite Walker, Minnesota. My family has been visiting there since before I was even born. It was tradition up until I was 23, to spend a week up on Leech Lake for the 4th of July. The memories I have with family and a few made friends there will last a lifetime and I'll forever hold a special place in my heart for that charming town.

Whether you want to fish, swim, water ski, shop, explore and much, much more there are lots of options for everyone. Might I recommend finding a charming resort to rent out a cabin on the lake and maybe take a little step back in time to enjoy good quality family time?

Life on a Cattle Ranch in Western South Dakota

Life is different out in the country. One look at the photo from Robin Bickel and you quickly realize that a workday is quite different as well, after all, she lives out west in South Dakota Cattle Country.

Robin Bickel took time to tell KIKN Country a little bit about her life out west and life as a woman, working outdoors with animals and nature in God's Country. Bickel lives and works on a cattle ranch operated by herself, her father, Jack, and his brother Keith. How far out in the country is she? How does 50 miles west of Mobridge, South Dakota sound? Yep, mountain time out there.

Life is so different in Sioux Falls, South Dakota compared to what our friends on the farm and ranches deal with. It's a half-mile to the grocery store for our family. For Robin, it's 17 miles. However, it's a quick step out her door and she's right in the middle of where a lot of the groceries come from.
