John Ruskey created “Wanbli on Branch” pastel in icy conditions on the 2002 Ruskey and Clark Expedition.
Around here at the Confluence, the winter paddling season provides unique opportunities to witness eagles. In fact, “Eagle Days” are celebrated all winter in the Upper Mississippi and Middle Mississippi River valley. Today, Trailnet is the lead organization for such an event at the Chain of Rocks Bridge. The “feels like” temperature is rising from the depths of double digit minus, that is from frozen to very cold. Ice bergs are predicted. And eagles to be sure. A good day for extraordinary river time.
