Camping in Minnesota

[Bevteacher4]

Hello All!
It has been awhile since I have posted, but have a couple of trips in mind and would like some advice!
How bad will mosquitoes be in Minnesota in August and September?
And planning a trip out to Badlands National Park and Devils Tower. Any advice on finding gas stations? Or anything else needed?
I am a widow and travel by myself and this would be the farthest I have gone alone.

And for any of those that helped me before, Thank you! My trips out to Allegheny, Niagara Falls, and to UP of Michigan were all successful!

Thanks,

Mosquitoes are always around near water in MN. By late August that are not so bad. By mid spetember they are not that much of a problem.

In rural states like SD and WY keep your gas tank more than half full and you will be fine.

The State bird in Minnesota (the mosquito) can be very proliferate depending on your location. If you are near their breeding grounds, you can expect to be kidnapped and carried away by them. If you are not near their breeding grounds, you will have few problems. Choose your stops carefully or let someone know where to look for the bled out carcass.

For gas stations, are you aware of gasbuddy.com? It show general location and prices on a map, if you zoom in close enough.

I recommend spending time along the Lake Superior shore north of Duluth. Nice state parks with rivers, falls, and scenery. Stop at Palisade Head for a great view of the lake from high above.

Not sure about the skeeters, I have not been there later than early August. They did not seem too bad then along the lake.
