Recent heavy rain explained the bike path along Minnehaha Creek being flooded in several places, and the Falls going full throttle.

Swede Hollow Henge
Rode the light rail with a friend and our bicycles to St. Paul, then explored points beyond. I hadn’t noticed Swede Hollow Henge before. Behind, the abandoned Hamms Brewery awaits a new purpose. Until the 1950’s this area was a shanty town with no electricity.
Simple Needs
Long cycle ride, bar lunch, short cycle ride, cup of tea, nap.
Min Hi Line
Pushed my bike alongside railroad tracks, following the route of a proposed cycle path, the Min Hi Line. These tracks once served several flour mills. Just one mill is still operating, producing one million pounds of flour every day.
Union Depot
Cycled to St. Paul’s Union Depot. Took the train home.
Shared Bikes
Rode shared bikes six times. They’re great for running errands around town.
Finding Former Fire Station 29
Continued searching for former fire stations. We couldn’t find Station 29, but, found a currently operating Station 15. Discovered this building was originally Station 29, but it closed in 1944. Station 15 then relocated to the building. The number change is evident in the photo.
Tire Wash
Washed our tires as we cycled alongside the channel between Lake of the Isles and Bde Maka Ska.
Cooling Off
Paid the $1 Senior fare, hung up my bike, cooled off.
Objects Hidden In Plain Sight
Cycled in search of objects, hidden in plain sight, that I’ve missed on previous cycle rides. Found Saturn. This and five other installations by Minneapolis sculptor, Zoran Mojsilov, occupy a small sculpture garden in Camden, North Minneapolis.
