Ok, so my mission for today was simple...Locate my assigned mail box, and the nearest dumpster, on the premissis...on the premissis. I also needed to locate the local post office. I am happy to report all missions are accomplished. The Mail boxes were just in a different area then I normally enter the building from, and the dumpster was hiding behind some snow. The post office was easy thanks to my GPS. I also went in to sign up for cable today...that was an adventure, but I ran into a Cubs fan so that was cool.

After all of the boring "To Do" stuff was done I decided to grab the digital camera and do some driving around and take some pictures. I traveled southwest from the midge to the cass lake area and took some pictures of the local landscape. Nothing really exciting, but just something to occupy my time.

So here we go........

Found a cool stretch of "scenic highway" that ran through Chippewa Falls National Forest, I wanted to go into the forest itself, but was too cheap to pay if they wanted to charge me, so I stuck to the main roads.

Although this isn't a very good picture I was able to "hawkeye" an eagle's nest out in the distance, I believe the nest is on the western shore of Cass Lake.

I think the reason for the poor picture was that I saw this sign, and was busy reaching for my sock...I don't know why though

Crossed a bridge that went over this little creek looking thing that eventually flowed into the Lake, oh wait...it was the Mississippi

I forget the name of this town but I saw a small Catholic Church just off of the road, it dosen't look like the priest is in right now, but maybe in the spring time.?.?.

On a side note I drove through some town that had a sign with its name on it and under the name it said Population 45... I rolled up the windows and locked the doors if you know what I mean.

Here another funny one, in Indiana we sink brush piles in hopes that one July day we can pull up to that spot and catch a bass or two off of it...In Minnesota they have a little more fun with it...
Incase you can't read it, it says "Guess when I will sink, you could win", that was on a busy road so I couldn't slow down to get a good picture.

Here's another way they have in Minnesota...I want one...(The black dot in the trail is a snowmobile)

One more landscape shot and then i'm done, this is probablly a bog of some sort, but I thought it was pretty neat.

More to come stay tuned.........

P.S. admin here is a fish pick to tide you over
How'd you do that day?
