What is the weather like in this area?
The weather in July typically averages a high of 85 during the day and drops to 60 at night! Keep in mind if you are staying near the lake, the breeze coming off the water will be a little bit colder!
What should I pack?
So this is dependent on where you are staying and how adventurous you want to be! You are in the land of 10,000 lakes so there is plenty of opportunities to swim, fish, golf, bike, shop, have campfires, and so much more! Dress for how you want your trip to go! Also be sure to see what amenities are included in your hotel, lodge or airbnb so you don't over or underpack!
If I'm driving, do you have different stops you recommend?
If driving from the Memphis, Tennessee area to Brainerd, Minnesota it will be about 14 hours! I understand this may not be a one day adventure for some so I recommend staying a night in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! It will break up your drive to 7 hours a day! Or if you're wanting to make it a bigger adventure you can stop through St. Louis, Missouri, Minneapolis, Minnesota or stray off the path to Chicago, Illinois! Make the most out of it!
If I'm flying, what airport do you find best?
Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport is your best bet! Message other guests, rent a vehicle and carpool to the venue! It will be about 3 hours to the venue from there.
