skiing at Wacouta

It has been a low snow winter, the same as last year, so skiing on the trails in Minnesota has been minimal. Today, however, my friend Bruce Ause and I went out on Wacouta Bay, a backwater of the Mississippi River, and had a beautiful day of skiing. We skied past an abandoned beaver lodge that stands nearly ten feet tall, and as we were coming back across the bay, three coyotes raced across in front of us. An excellent day of skiing.
