about the authorAward-winning writer and photographer Lisa Meyers McClintick contributes to USA Todays Go Explore magazine, Midwest Living, Minneapolis Star Tribune,AAA Living, FamilyVacationCritic.com, and Timber Home Living. She wrote the latest edition of The Dakotas Off the Beaten Path (Globe Pequot Press, 2010) and created the first Minnesota iPhone travel app, Minnesota Lake Vacations. She also offers travel advice and features destinations throughout Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada on her website, 10000likes.com.
A Twin Cities native and St. Cloud resident, she speaks to groups about the healing power of travel, budget and family travel, and cultural travel. Her favorite adventures include wildlife and wildflowers, local produce and products, Lake Superior, ethnic areas, hands-on learning, and skiing through the woods or camping with her husband, son, and twin daughters. As a self-confessed nature geek, shes thrilled to live near 70-plus state parks, the mighty Mississippi, and more than 10,000 lakes. See lisamcclintick.com.
acknowledgmentsEndless gratitude goes to my husband, Bob. He was my first editor at our college newspaper and didnt falter when I left to study abroad in Germany. Hes always there to welcome me home, to endure early years of rustic camping, to dream bigger and wander farther, to plunge into family adventures, and to (almost) always be willing to stop for great photos and curious places. You are my homemore than any address weve had.
Hugs, too, to our children, Jonathan, Katie, and Kylie, who gamely hit the road with Mom and offer valuable input, and to my parents, Lyn and Rik, for planting the travel bug early, always offering encouragement, and sharing the great places they discover. To the rest of our extended family and friendsespecially the Quartetknow that your support and enthusiasm takes me further than a full tank of gas.
Finally, big cheers to the Minnesota and Wisconsin communities that support creative visions, local talent, and historic sites that elevate beautiful places into fantastic getaways. And thanks to Globe Pequot editor Kevin Sirois for the opportunity to write about them.
