When I visited my Aunt and Uncle up in Northern Minnesota that is where we took our bath. I would grab a towel and a bar of soap and head down to the Devils Track River. I would find a flat rock and placed the towel and the bar of soap on the rock. I would get wet in the Devils Track River which was a trout stream and damn cold I might add. I would wash down real quick rinse off and sit on the flat rock and let the sun warm me up and then head over to the bank and get dressed and go back up too the cabin. Fond memories but it was still cold.😬😬😬😬😬
