Minnehaha Falls Hike Yeah!! Somebody turned on the waterfalls for us today! Sunday morning October 28th was a crisp morning for a walk beneath the Minnehaha Falls. Though we have had a drought, it was exciting to see the falls actually have some water flowing over its steep banks. Ten of us wandered along the slowly moving river out to the Mighty Mississippi River. As we climbed a bit off the path, John Stiefel asked if I really knew where I was going! Oh “Ye of Little Faith.” It was just a little adventure that led down to the river. We happened upon some “campers” just getting up (11:30) at the River’s Bank. We wound around and followed the path back emerging at Wabun Park. We decided to walk to the River’s Edge for a view from above. As we headed back, imagine our surprise coming upon a flock of turkeys strutting alongside the Veteran’s Hospital. The boys, Manfred, John and Ken thought they should rouse them out to see if they would fly! “Boys will be Boys.” We ended the morning walk with a delicious meal at Capp’s Grille on Hiawatha. Patty, John and Robin decided to have breakfast! It looked yummy! Sharon thought that next time we should have breakfast first and walk later… sounds like a plan! By |
