It reminded us of other river towns we know (Lynne of Stillwater and me of LaCrosse). Plus the birding in that area was fantastic! I bet spring migration there would be amazing.<br /><br />Hi Mare,<br />That tower was REALLY high once you got to the top! I think the outer railing should have been higher and more reinforced--it was a little scary!<br /><br />Hi Eileen,<br />Thanks for stopping by my blog. I started hearing and seeing red-breasted nuthatches here in SE Minnesota just this past weekend. A couple years ago we had a good number of them here for the winter and I hope some stick around again this year. They're sure adorable!<br /><br />Hi Heidi,<br />There was quite a bit more fall color in Wisconsin than back in Minnesota. I would guess they're at least a week or two ahead of us.<br />I wonder if their Canada geese hadn't already left for more southerly locations??RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-41971395709289218682009-09-22T18:31:13.777-05:002009-09-22T18:31:13.777-05:00Those are some tough ferns!

I wonder if the residents of Wausau realize what treasures are readily available to them?<br /><br />Oh Jayne, it was really a wonderful weekend. We talked and laughed so much and never ran out of things to say--even after 2 and a half days!<br /><br />You got that right Mama Pea! I could probably spend the next 10 years just exploring Minnesota and Wisconsin, plus no passport needed!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words Stephen. <br />Rental car = $81, motel room for 3 nights = $76, an entire weekend birding and knitting with my best blogging friend = PRICELESS!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-31359487636265440992009-09-15T11:35:51.961-05:002009-09-15T11:35:51.961-05:00Ruthie,

And I love how the plants grow out of the cracks in rocks. Nice post and captures.
