Red Cedar State Trail
Fall colors were starting to come in as we cycled the lovely Red Cedar Trail, starting in Menominee, Wisconsin.
Let the Corn Season Begin
Tonight: our first taste of Minnesota corn this season.

Woke up this morning with steam rising in the frigid (-22°F) air above St. Anthony Falls.
