Banning Junction

After graduating from the University of Minnesota last spring, my friends Kyle, Chase, and I drove up north to go portaging in the Boundary Waters. On the way we drove through the beautiful town of Banning Junction, Minnesota. What a geeky town name.

Today I discovered banningjunction.com.

    Banning Junction is a better name, but at heart I’m more of a “Castle Danger” man.
