this post is broken


So on sunday we took to the streets and started biking for Minnehaha Park.  The falls were going great guns but the Army Corps of Engineers had everything blocked off. So we took pictures through the trees.  We met up with our friends Chester and April, and April's brother David.  And we rode out from there to The Triple Rock for breakfast.  I had french toast and we split an order of the diced potatoes with the cheese ad such.  

When we were leaving I noticed a cool looking rack.

We went back to the river but continued north to Gold Medal Park, stopping to snap a picture of the museum. I was taking it into the sun so it in general sucked.

April and David wouldn't ride to the top of the hill, but Shannon and Chester did.  The weather was so nice and clear, we could see downtown. 














From Gold Medal we went the little bit further to the Stone Arch Bridge.  



















The water wasn't actually this green but playing with curves in Photoshop gave it such a color I couldn't help but save it.













St Anthony falls made Minnehaha look like a drippy faucet













From there we headed up to an eccentric island with chickens and purple houses and almost took this trail.















there is an old bridge with no cautionary signs, or railings (ha ha), so we walked out on it. 





















The gaps were just the right size for a bike wheel.














or a bike.


















by the time we were at Boom Island we were gettin
g silly and rode in the river a bit.












I decided that before I strip Guy down I should get a picture of the Offenders 2.0.



We took the west bank back to Gold medal park, discussing the lack of cedar lake trail on the kiosk sign when the blaze was not thirty feet away.  We met a nice prancing  New Foundland 
about the same.
