Ideas for the coming weekend

I have just been looking at various websites for this week's peak fall color locales. When it is fall, you cannot obviously go anywhere else, can you?
According to Explore Minnesota beautiful fall color can be found at cascade river, grand portage, Itasca, St. Croix and Savanna Portage state parks- the same as given in Star Tribune.
I dont think we can travel more than 80-90 miles this weekend :-) and we have already seen the North shore side...so Grand Portage and Cascade river are ruled out.
lemme see...Itasca- DNR reports state that this is going to be an early fall season here
but distance: 227 miles! out of question

St Croix state park is about 87 miles from Minneapolis, check out here for further details.It states that last week was a better time to go :-( hmmm

Savanna Portage state park is still close to peak color with very less leaf loss and is about 125 miles...

I think it's either going to be Savanna portage or St Croix this weekend...or maybe we will discover some new place closer home
