Favorite Places Along the River
You've got to experience the waterfowl migration in the spring or fall between Potosi and Cassville, Wisc. Viewing flocks of 300+ American Pelicans or dozens of swans in one place is common... and breathtaking. It is nature at its most sublime and brings peace to the soul.
