About Mind & Trivia

From the rain-soaked headwaters of Minnesota, America's great rivers roll southward before fanning into mossy deltas and meeting the sea. The Great Lakes — Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario — hold about a fifth of the world's surface fresh water, their shores shifting from sandy dunes to cold, rocky bluffs with every bend. Elsewhere, the Colorado carves red-walled canyons, the Missouri stretches across the plains, and the Hudson slides past forested highlands that early Dutch settlers once called home.
