I can really picture the spot where you're describing and that's an awesome experience to have had with your son. I hope you guys paddle the river someday, and he can see where it goes. we've all fully recovered and I think everyone is anxious to return to the river, just been too busy to do so lately... I think I want to return to that first stretch next spring, when water levels are a foot or two higher... could be some fun whitewater and it sure is a beautiful and remote area. have a great 4th yourself, thanks again for the comment! hey eric, thanks for a really awesome comment.

Today I took my seven-year-old son on a “secret mission” into Wisconsin and on the way home we made a brief stop at the spot where hwy. 35 crosses the St. Croix. We quietly waded out into the channel and marveled at the beauty of the place. “Where does this river go?” he asked. I told him <i>exactly</i> where and watched as his glance slowly moved from the opposite shore to downstream. I could almost hear his little gears turning. There’s something about a river, but not every person can see it - I can understand your affection for the St. Croix. Also, 24 miles during a period of higher water would be an easy day and not overly ambitious at all. I hope everyone has recovered from your last trip. Have a good 4th!

I think June evenings really are gifts such that the only way you can honor them is just by enjoying them. Thanks Jules.
