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!

Slow Food was created as a protest against the ubiquitous nature of fast-food. The idea is predicated on how our accelerated lifestyles of western culture have separated us from our roots; our choice to live fast has severed cultural connections to land, nature, agriculture and the traditions derived from our local environment.

All across Minnesota people came pouring outside in droves. We saw more smiles, laughter, ice cream and motorcycles than you typically expect on an October day. These kinds of unseasonably warm, fall days that come out of nowhere seem to transform the entire Minnesota population.

I’m sure we’ll get that extended “Indian Summer” – I don’t know if it’s politically incorrect to refer to that last pitch of warm weather that way. It doesn’t sound right to refer to it as “Native American Summer”…so I’m sticking with the traditional term
