I went to the park with textures in mind and this is what I found. For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, ‘Textures.’ ~ Susanne
It’s been a cold and rainy fall but we managed to find a good day to take our new E Bikes out for their maiden voyage. We started at Cedar River Park and followed the Cedar River Trail south through the woods where the… Continue Reading “Maiden Voyage of Our E Bikes on the Cedar River Trail”

They had left St. Louis on May 14, 1804, and on November… Continue Reading “From O the Joy! to Dismal Nitch”
