The fourth annual 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF) kicked off on a recent mild Wednesday evening at the Soo Pass Ranch of Detroit Lakes, MN. The four-day bonanza of music and entertainment has matured into a full-fledged mainstay on the summer tour circuit for headliners and up-and-coming regional acts alike. While cars rolled in all day and night into Thursday morning, visitors set up their temporary homes, and neighborhoods, with extensive attention to detail evident from the picnic tables, screened porches, tiki torches, hammocks, and other simple pleasures they brought from home. Just about everyone that night met a stranger with no other connection to them than the fact that they had parked next to each other just hours earlier: that, and a shared enthusiasm for a smorgasbord of music played hard and honest.
