Canoeing the St. Croix River

Many thanks to Ace (Stace) for organizing another St. Croix River canoe trip. It was a beautiful day!

The river was much higher than last year. We didn't have to get out and pull the canoes over the rocks once. It was also flowing at a quick pace which made for a fast trip.

Saw a bald eagle soaring above right as we first got in the river. A good sign. Saw turtles sunbathing and even on the sandbar where we stopped for lunch were left over turtle eggs -- even though a certain member of the party thought they were marshmallows. Looked like a good year for baby turtles.
