Pipestone National Monument Minnesota
Pipestone National Monument is located in southwestern Minnesota, just north of the city of Pipestone, Minnesota. It is located along the highways of U.S. Route 75, Minnesota State Highway 23 and Minnesota State Highway 30.
The catlinite, or pipestone, has been traditionally used to make ceremonial pipes, vitally important to traditional Plains Indian religious practices. The quarries are sacred to most of the tribe of North America, Dakota, Lakota, and other tribes of Native Americans, and were neutral territory where all Nations could quarry stone for ceremonial pipes.[2] The Sioux tribes may have taken control of the quarries around 1700, but the Minnesota pipestone has been found inside North American burial mounds dating from long before that, and ancient Indian trails leading to the area suggest pipestone may have been quarried there for many centuries.[3]
As the United States grew westward in the 19th century, pipes found their way into white society through trade. To protect their source, the Yankton Sioux secured free and unrestricted access via The Treaty With The Yankton Sioux, which was signed on April 19, 1858.
The land was acquired by the federal government in 1893. In 1928, the Yankton Sioux, then resettled on a reservation 150 miles (240 km) away, sold their claim to the federal government. The National Monument was established by an act of Congress on August 25, 1937, and the establishing legislation restored quarrying rights to the Indians.[2] Today only people of Native American ancestry are allowed to quarry the pipestone. A boundary change occurred on June 18, 1956.[4] As an historic area under the National Park Service it was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the heading Cannomok'e—Pipestone National Monument. The Red Pipestone Quarries within the monument comprise a Minnesota State Historic Site.[5]
During the summer months, there are cultural demonstrations at the monument. The Upper Midwest Indian Cultural Center, located inside the visitor center, sponsors demonstrations of pipemaking by native craftworkers using the stone from the quarries. Local Native Americans carve the stones using techniques passed down from their ancestors. Many of the demonstrators are third or fourth generation pipe makers.
Visitors can also walk along a three-quarter mile (1.2 km) self-guided trail to view the pipestone quarries and a waterfall. A trail guide is available at the visitor center. About 260 acres (1.1 km2) of the national monument has been restored to native tallgrass prairie. Monument staff burn prairie parcels on a rotating basis to control weeds and stimulate growth of native grasses. A larger area of restored tallgrass prairie and a small Bison herd are maintained by the Minnesota DNR at Blue Mounds State Park, 20 miles (32 km) to the south.
The visitor center features exhibits about the natural and cultural history of the site, including a petroglyph display. There is also an orientation video about the history of the pipestone quarries.

The Boundary Waters Of Minnesota
Thought I'd share a great place in my home state of Minnesota. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) is a place to enjoy nature the way it is meant to be enjoyed, no motors, cars, or any modern convenience of any sorts. Just you, your canoe, tent and a special friend ;) It is truly getting away from it all. The BWCA is a 1,090,000 acre area located in the Superior National Forest in NE Minnesota. We dream about it here during our long cold winters, and btw, we had our first snow today. Only seven more months until it starts getting nice again.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

All videos were taken from 7:36am to 9:50am. Footage taken from Hutchinson, Brownton, and Kingston, MN.
First two videos were taken from the Hutchinson, MN airport as the storm was coming in with a nice green shelf cloud and lightning. Video 3 is of a plane wobbling in the wind as the rain and wind came in. Video 4 is of some crazy wind blowing past a light pole with rain curtains whirling around a building. Video 5 is of wind blowing with hail collecting on the ground. Video 6 is an overview of wind blowing away from me with rain and hail. Videos 7 and 8 are of trees snapped in half and snapped from the base taken 3 miles west of Brownton, MN. Videos 9, 10 and 11 are of a gravel road flooded with water and with the water eroding the side of the road with a waterfall of water and tree branches down and with a medium sized whirl pool that was created by the drain that was nearby that was taken west of Brownton, MN. Videos 12, 13 and 14 were taken of tree damage and an electric company working on the power lines in Hutchinson, MN with one tree laying on a small shed. Videos 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 were taken 2 miles north of Kingston, MN with tree and tree branches down at a local photography place and 3 sheds damaged with 2 being completely blown over and the 3rd damaged. Locals say possible tornado (There was a tornado warning for the area at the time of damage) from what I think it looks like straight line wind damage.
