Hennipin Canal Revisited






Just realizing that the Canal will live in memory without photos. Fairly hot, long and all our focus was on getting through the trail and back onto our much favored farm roads. Lots of turtles along the way to keep our eyeballs searching for another critter.






We hooked up with 1745 North Ave. This was a straight shot to the East that gave us a quick tailwind, that was nice. A few ups and downs, rollers ya' know. Popped up to Backbone Road, feeling groggy, but a darn good day, since we decided to split our travel en route to Starving Rock. Nothing like another pool party at the AmericInn, a jont to Walmart to pick up some tasty peaches and various snacks for our camping night in the hills. Now, Wally-World also supplied us with what two brothers desperately need on a trip like this, weapons! Nerf Swords are our new best friends...the AmericInn provided an excellent fighting ring.




As did 1800 N Ave....The middle of the road, shoes off, game on!





Now, the fun continued with a mighty big feast at Wise Guys Bar and Grille. You can see, the Mozzerella sticks were in season!


Everyone has been so incredibly thoughtful and helpful along this trip. Represent Mid-West...Nice!
