The Good, The Bad, The Cold

Traveling with a weather expert, there are now few secrets or surprises from the sky. Thus, here 100 miles north of Minneapolis this a.m. temps have dropped from mid 70s to 50s, the sky has darkened, and my coffee is more a welcome comfort than ever. There is a silver lining to this cloud, however. The winds have shifted! (I feel like a giddy sailor.) The prevailing winds from the north have returned. Thus, we trade warm days for WIND AT OUR BACKS for a change! That's the theory anyway. I have yet to crawl out of my cozy tent, take paddle in hand and test the waters. (There could be something the Captain's not telling me!?)

Sadly, I don't have time to do more than tack off a quick list of recent miracles: The Oldenburg Family, our miaculous John Deer portage one-mile around the biggest power dam in Minnesota, and our fastest three miles to date.

Gotta pack and paddle now. A pleasant Sunday's rest to you all! - RSM
