On the Road to Pepin PM


After lunch we rode through Red Wing and crossed the Mississippi River into Wisconsin.  Yes that is the Red Wing of shoe fame.  That is myself, Jennifer who lives in Wisconsin and Bob in the picture.  We spent the rest of the afternoon  following the Mississippi River south for 30 miles to Pepin.  The River is actually called Lake Pepin  in this area since it is wide and slow moving.  This is the result of the flow of sediment from the Chippewa River into the Mississippi just below Pepin causing a natural narrowing of the river channel.  The scenery was beautiful all along the lake.
