All right, I know that's unfair as a title to a thread but....I was making my way back from Copia today with the windows down enjoying the 39F degree weather and then...I saw it. Water. Just below Lake Pepin--- somewhere out there on highway 61.
I don't know the river that well so perhaps that area never ices in during the winter but it was nice to see blue -- that was moving. The eagle wheeling overhead also helped bolster my spirits. It's been a long winter
Thanks to all for a great first 'Copia by the way. Really nice to meet everyone.
