On the St. Croix being braided into my life and marriage.
![]() On the St. Croix being braided into my life and marriage. ![]() A St. Paul man set off today for a 290 mile canoe trip from Mendota to Madeline Island on Lake Superior, up the St. Croix, down the Brule, and beyond. ![]() A friend visiting from Montana and I paddle the St. Croix on a windy and beautiful late autumn day; my first time paddling a canoe in November. ![]() To get to the Little Yellow Banks canoe landing at St. Croix State Park, you first drive five miles of paved road from the highway to park headquarters. Then you drive another five miles of gravel road to the landing. By the time you get to the river, you feel like the hustle and bustle of modern life is pretty far away. The river–wild, undeveloped, beautiful–does nothing to dispel that feeling. ![]() I will be talking about canoeing the St. Croix River, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and who knows what else as part of a panel discussion about water trails. |
