Lanesboro

2008.06.14
Today Carleton and I went on a trip to Lanesboro, Minnesota, a big tourist destination for people with trailers and bicycling enthusiasts. We went biking during the afternoon and I stopped frequently to take pictures. Amazingly, Carleton was very patient with my repeated photo ops.

This is the road next to the trailer camp.

The Root River was very muddy because of the flooding last week.

Hills! In Minnesota!

Wildflowers near the river.

This is a Minnesota "resort."

Grasses rustling in the breeze.

The first leg of the trail along the river. Everything was incredibly green.

The bicycling trail.

The trail leads into the town of Lanesboro, population 749, and then back.

Even Lanesboro itself is hilly.

Houses at the bottom of the hills.

The trail crosses the river in several places.

I wish I could bike down this trail every day.

I played with Photoshop to see if I could get the ugly, muddy water to look more blue. What do you think?

A farmhouse along the trail. There were cows, but I didn't get them in the shot.

A perfect field.

Forest!

More pretty forest.

A fallen tree. I thought it kind of looked like a person who was either awed by the sun or about to be sacrificed. I was in a weird mood.

I love this trail.
