June 12, 2010 / Scott / 1 Comment

We made it! We traveled for eight days following the Mississippi River. We started at 117,892 and we hit the headwaters at 119,000. It has been a beautiful (slightly rainy) trip.

Someone, we won’t name names of rambunctious little girls, slammed Cody’s left hand in the van door yesterday. It was an accident that she got …

We tag teamed again today. Scott stayed with sleeping Cody and I took Brooke on a several hour tour of a Forest History Center in Grand Rapids, MN. Cody was not in same shape I left him when I returned, but we’ll get to that later… Several fabulous individuals reenacted a logging camp in the …
