Outdoorspeople, in particular, decry our modern dependence on technology and electronics.

But when autumn in the Northland can last as few as six weeks, you don't have a lot of time to waste.

Enter the Minnesota DNR's Fall Color Finder, a mobile-friendly website to show you maps of the best colors, the parks with the best colors near you, and even a subscription service that will send you a text or email update for the skinny on the best places to leaf-peep.

An added bonus this year?  All the rain means many of the waterfalls will also be at their photogenic best right now!

She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
