| Traveling the wide open spaces of HWY 13 |
I've decided to give my packraft a name, something tough, courageous, and spirited. I chose to call it Swee'Pea. Swee'Pea is Popeye's "boy-kid" and while he never really gets any bigger, he is a bad ass that can throw punches at will. I figured the name fit the small, tough, boat, but I'm weird like that.

| The mouth of REagle Creek, I'm told this is an excellent fishing spot |
Monday I headed out on my second raft trip. It was short and sweet, right after work (early) before it got dark at 4:30 pm. I left the Menards in Burnsville and headed west to "REagle Creek". I knew I would not be able to paddle the creek due to all the downed trees but I like it back there and it has a nice access to the Minnesota River. From there I headed down river to the old swing train bridge and exited. I spent about an hour on the river enjoying the sun that made an appearance before going down. While it was only a two jaunt, it's always nice to get out and play.

| I just love this old nearly abandoned road. |
Where is that road?
