Bridges of Fillmore and Houston Counties on the Root River Trail.

Bicycled from Rushford to Houston. Lunch, explored library & shops.

Houston Library had a free Minnesota State Parks pass. Since I'm a member of SELCO through the Rushford Library, I was able to get it. Only good till the 30th, but we'll try to use it.

Bicycled home, enjoyed a wonderful breeze.

40 miles yesterday to Lanesboro, Minnesota.

28 miles today to Houston, Minnesota. This a bit harder as it has a steep hill.

Glad I did both. Hot and humid reminded me of North Alabama.

Tomorrow I catch up on reading "Moon Lake" by Joe R. Lansdale.

Then listening to "The Memory Librarian by Janelle Monae.

Bicycled from Rushford, Minnesota to Houston, Minnesota and back on a most beautiful day. They have a really great small Nature Center Museum.

The Cushon's Peak photo reminds me of an album cover I can't remember.

Bicycled over the long bridge crossing over the Root River on the Root River Trail between Houston, Minnesota and Rushford, Minnesota.

The "clank clunk" of what sounded like loose planks was unnerving, but seemed perfectly safe.

The large white boards that were in the middle are gone. I'm sure they were there for a reason during winter, I just don't know what that is.

It was beautiful weather today.

Bicycled to Houston, Minnesota and back to Rushford on a beautiful 27.77 C day with a cool breeze.

Stopped by Owl City Cycles

who are now "Open for the season".

Fixed my front gearing. Part on the post had slipped down enough to cause random shifting problems. They also switched out a really gunky rear shifter cable. Made it wonderful coming home. Good work, definitely going back.

A bicycle with green bags is standing up on an asphalt trail. A few leafless trees, brown grass with patches of green coming in, a blue river reflecting a blue sky. An old railroad bridge is visible in the distance, as are rolling bluffs.

Bicycled 48.6 Kilometers of the Root River Trail from Rushford, Minnesota to Houston, Minnesota.

Trail was mostly clear. A couple of large puddles the only obstacles besides the numerous twigs and small branches.

The Houston Nature Center has the water fountain turning on April First.

Only had to stop once going there.
Had to stop to rest 4 times coming back.

We went to the International Festival of Owls festivalofowls.com at the International Owl Cennter internationalowlcenter.org in Houston, Minnesota today.

What a fun, informative program. We learned so much. The presentation by Andi was so good.

Other 🦉 owls there, but Ruby the great horned owl was the star.

It's still going on later today and tomorrow, but we already feel like we got our money's worth of admission for today.
