Escape the mess and sit by a rippling river
Feeling anxious about the midterms? World news bumming you out?
What you need is a timeout.
Come along on a trip to Minnesota's Interstate Park in Taylors Falls.
It's a quiet fall morning on the St. Croix River's western banks. After a quick climb down some rocks, you find a cozy spot beneath some pine trees.
Sit for a while and watch as the river flows through the basalt cliffs and wooded hillside.
