🎶…..the cold never bothered me anyway💁🏼‍♀️❄️🎶

Another unique find along

📍 New Brighton, MN

❄️Ice Castles is an awe-inspiring, must see winter phenomenon that brings fairytales to life. Each castle is hand built by professional ice artists, which takes thousands of man hours to create. Anywhere from 5,000-12,000 icicles are grown, harvested, and individually sculpted into existing ice formations!

❄️Each castle is approximately 1 acre in size and consists of more than 25 million pounds of ice!😱 As an added bonus, all ice castles are strategically positioned by natural water sources so that the water returns to the environment to be used again by wildlife, people and plants.💙

❄️The experience features frozen towers, caverns, ice slides, crawl spaces, ice-carved thrones, and tunnels. LED lights are also frozen inside the ice and light up/change colour at night to provide an even more magical experience! ✨

🌊Broken Down Dam🌊

Another unique find along the

📍Otter Tail County, MN

🌊 Broken Down Dam was a concrete hydroelectric gravity dam on the Otter Tail River in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Constructed in 1908 to supply power to the nearby town of Fergus Falls, the dam suddenly failed on September 24, 1909. Collapse of the dam caused the failure of four others downstream as well as significant property damage

🌊City officials left the damaged structure in place and today its ruins lie along the recreational Otter Tail River State Water Trail at Broken Down Dam Park. The only flood recorded in the history of Fergus Falls was due to this disaster
