Posted this in regionals but then I noticed its dead so here it goes.
My brother plays on the Brainerd Lakes Lunkers baseball team up there I don't know if any of you have heard of them but whatever. My parents and I are driving up there mid July for a week to watch them play. I'll be pretty much alone all week with my own car and hotel room. Any cool places to check out or other stuff to do near Brainerd? Never been to Minnesota so any help would be great!

Brainerd ain't that bad man. I go up to that area to stay at my uncles cabin every summer. I guess since you're gonna be by yourself that could make it boring. But I guess a question is are you're of age or not. With all the resorts in the area there's quite a few bars and restaurants to drink and meet people at. Like above, Zorba's is a well known mexican restaurant/bar chain in that area. Or just go to a beech and maybe meet some people, most folk are pretty friendly there. I'm not familiar with the roads up there, but you could probably find some scenic roads to cruise on and take it all in. Other things that come to mind are: Paul Bunyan Land, there's some casino's close by, and I feel like there's usually some type of music or entertainment going on in the parks around town (may have to look into that), it gets fairly cool at night and bring your bug spray. I hope some of that helps, and I hope your trip turns out well!
