The Star Tribune says Minnesota is predicting its best fall foliage season in ten years.  This will be the second year in a row of ample rains after eight years of drought.

Areas to check out are the North Shore, Grand Rapids, Brainerd and the Southeast.  Read more at:  Minnesota’s best fall show in years | StarTribune.com.
