Saturday, February
24, 2018:
The Dynamic Duo headed to Stillwater, Minnesota. Paula was driving while Mark snapped a few photos of the new bridge that crosses the St. Croix River at Stillwater. |
 |
|
Upon returning from Wisconsin, they spied a sign indicating an exit.
Shopper Paula said, "Let's take it." |
 |
|
The underside of the bridge is a popular spot for ice fishermen. |
 |
|
Paddleboats were waiting nearby for spring to arrive. They are frozen in
ice until then. |
 |
|
The wheelhouses were vacant, but won't be when warm weather returns. These proud vessels are a testament to Mark Twain and river traffic of this great country. |
 |
|
Local residents were out looking for spring as well from their hillside locations
overlooking the river. |
 |
|
Downtown Stillwater was a bustling place with tourist traffic. This town
is filled with antique shops and restaurants. |
 |
|
A mural in town tells the story of the original bridge, which still stands.
It no longer handles car traffic, but should reopen in the spring for pedestrians. |
 |
|
There was Charlie Brown with sweet-tooth Paula. A sign nearby says, "Life
is like a bowl full of chocolate." Paula likes chocolate, picked up some, and stopped into the antique shop that you see in the background. |
Quote of the day:
Paula loves to shop. Mark
