A Drop in the Bucket



Here in Minnesota the mighty Mississippi is a mere drop in the bucket that one could throw a rock across. It's hard to believe that a few hundred miles downstream huge barges and ships are on their way to the rest of the world on this same river.

There was plenty of wildlife on this paddle, including some huge turtles, as well as this "rafter" of wild turkeys...



...which reminds me of the strangest high school mascot name we've encountered..... Atkins, Minnesota, home of the fighting "gobblers" ... wow, that must really intimidate the other schools!
