I've seen things you wouldn't believe. A squirrel hopping like a bunny rabbit. A bunny rabbit running like a dog. A wild turkey looking both ways before it crossed the trail.

All of these lost in Winter, like tears in the ice and snow.

Bicycled the Root River Trail to Peterson and back late enough that it was sunset when I got back. Only one other bicyclist.

Rushford Village now has their port-a-potty set up by the trail.

The Rushford Depot was open for water and bathrooms this past Sunday from 10- 3.

Bicycled the Root River Trail to Lanesboro today.

12 bicyclists. 4 electric bikes. 2 bunnies. 5 squirrels.

Peterson bathrooms are open. Peterson Gnome is by the Peterson sign on the trail.

Whalan Depot is open.

Purple, and yellow flowers on the sides of the trail. Small white butterflies (or moths) all along the trail until it started drizzling rain.

Bicycled to Peterson and back and part of the way to Houston and back.

11 people on bicycles

2 electric bikes.

1 electric upright trike. Expo on the frame. Reminded me of Expo brand markers. Could the bike be modified to lay down washable marker paint fro its tires? Who knows?

2 really fast bicyclists on the paralell street in Peterson.

1 chipmunk. Second since yesterday.

Bicycled the Root River Trail from Rushford to Houston. Portion of the trail from Cushon's Peak to the Houston Nature Center is closed right now, so bicycled the wide shoulders on Highway 16. Going down was great, climbing back up not so much. Great day of weather, without severe winds. Only two trees down on the way.

Though not the actual midway point between Rushford and Lanesboro on the Root River Trail in Minnesota, it is what my mind chooses as the midway point.

Really unsure about the pronunciation. "Rain" or "Ramen" without the "m" are probably wrong.

After yucky freezing rain days and some travel I was able to bicycle to Peterson and back to Rushford on what turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon. Heard more birdsong today than I've heard in a while.

Tried to bicycle to Peterson and the wind kicked my butt and I wasn't dressed for a much colder wind than I was prepared for.

Of course it was a headwind both ways.

I have a cousin who did much more racing type bicycling in Indiana and he said they never said the "W" word because it seemed to cause it to happen whenever anyone said it.
