Favorite Places Along the River
One of my favorite memories of the river is the day my Mom, Dad, sister and I spent time working at a river clean up in Hastings, Minn. As a little kid, I remember being amazed at all the stuff we pulled out of the water that day - even a big wooden door. It was a warm, sunny day and the bridge crossing the river was very pretty. Hope we made a small difference!
