When Rivers Were Trails Download

It's time for the next installment in my hit history gaming series! I am a chronic procrastinator. I meant to share this a couple weeks ago, but life happened and I'm taking a particularly emotionally taxing class about 9/11 as my senior capstone, studying how 9/11 changed pop culture of games and TV/movies. It is absolutely wild to be surrounded by people who weren't even alive when that happened. Going back to school as an Old One is a trip. I'll share more on that class at a later date, I promise.

Rivers were the paths of least resistance when Native American tribes traveled trade routes and accessed fishing grounds. Explorers took to the rivers to find routes to the west, and most cities were built along the banks of a river for ease of transportation and commerce.

When I met my partner over 10 years ago and learned his sport of choice was kayaking, I started to dip my toe into the boating world, but the passion really took off when we found out about packrafts. Small, lightweight inflatable boats that we could carry in our backpacks to access wilderness lakes and rivers? Brilliant! Backpacking + kayaking = packrafting.

Several months ago while driving between Champlin and Delano, I noted the parks and trails I passed along the way and conceived an idea. There were all these lovely trails, so what if someone biked them from park to park? And what if that someone was me?

The upper and lower rivers were formed at different times, by draining waters from different glacial lakes. Within the stretch from the State Highway 70 bridge to William O'Brien State Park lies the long-ago meeting place of the two rivers, the St. Croix Dalles at Taylors Falls. Here, water draining from glacial Lake Duluth drilled a deep narrow path through hard igneous rock to join the previously formed lower river. Rocks and gravel swirling in river eddies carved out the Dalles' potholes which are stone wells up to 60 feet deep. Pines cling precariously to rock walls that tower as high as 200 feet above the deep river. The St. Croix's depth here averages 70 feet, but holes are as deep as 100 feet. Today the Dalles area is preserved in the Interstate Parks of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

2.) The Clinton Administration announced the American Heritage River Initiative in 1998. The first fourteen Heritage Rivers were designated on July 30, 1998. Three of these designated American Heritage Rivers, the Connecticut, the Blackstone, and the Woonasquatucket are in New England. This designation strengthens the use of these rivers as multi purpose greenway corridors.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, trails are the most desired community amenity that homeowners seek when buying a home. In fact, neighborhood trails located in various cities have reported an increase in property value ranging from 2 to 5 percent. Studies have shown the trails do not adversely affect property values and in some cases increase property values. e24fc04721
