So you can have all this really expensive machinery, stagecraft and logistics to manage it, but it takes a really outstanding group of performers to pull off the complete package. U2 satisfied on all counts, even in a torrential downpour of rain.

Middle-aged Adventure on the Whiteface River
Posted in Adventure, Minnesota, Outdoors, Summer, tagged Canoe, Minnesota, Whitewater River on June 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »
There aren’t any official campsites along the way. So part of the adventure is making your own. However that can be a bit tricky because you must respect the private property and then you must find someplace where you can access the river bank easily.

And we saw horse farms, fish jumping left and right in the Vermillion River, a lock and dam at the Mississippi, several bald eagles and a roaring waterfall at an old flour mill. We had no idea this bike gem existed until a week ago!

So, by the end of today I had three different pairs of boots in front of me. They all have their benefits and their down falls. I’m curious which pair you think I should pick!

I’m excited about getting an early start this year with the MMS group. You might recall that I blogged about our foray in the fall to collect autumn specimens in Lebanon Hills regional park in Dakota County and that I found a 7 lb Hen of the Woods less than a mile from my front door
