The adventures of a cedar canoe
On day two I had already filled my day along the road, yet it was still early, only mid morning. It was 10:30 am Sunday when I headed out of Afton State Park . I continued my trip along the West side of the St Croix River. I knew that the St Croix linked with the Mississippi River around Hastings, Minnesota.

It has been a whirlwind few weeks. Vacation in the North part of The Netherlands to traveling in the USA.
My most recent journey started at the end of September as I flew into Minnesota from Amsterdam. I took one day to pack my car with all my camping gear and suitcases. Then started my 1975 mile round trip journey along the Great River Road.
The weekend ended with me showing off the picture of my rainbow trout to anyone who would stand long enough to see it.
We are pretty normal people, my hubby and I. My hubby likes to think we are boring, let me re-phrase that, he is boring, he knows I am not boring.
