Amanda, Stacy, Robert, Catherine, and Stephanie dropped in at the River Park Boat Launch in Brooklyn Park for their annual paddle down the Mississippi. This year was a really nice and easy paddle.

Special thanks to John and Molly at Twin Cities Kayaking for the many years of making this belonging outing special.

Could it be an antidote to the Great Resignation?
